Hello, here you can post your drawings for today's session:)
For each day we can open a new discussion (for example "31 July 2021"), post all our drawings as replies and talk about how we can improve.
You can open a new discussion too, just check that someone else has not done it yet for the day!
Let's help each other out :)
I agree with you, I probably didn't explain well what i meant. Of course you re drawing from observing a 3d world, so there s no way you can improve in the visual representation of it without understanding this. What i meant is that by doing different practices you hone in a different set of skills, but of course this is my way of thinking. I can paint portraits but sculpting a face is a different thing and i need to practice in it to get better (just to compare two things that are usually considered separate skills).
In my actual state when i sketch my figure looks more alive than when i do a finished painting. I feel that figure drawing helps me in this more than other exercises, like the drawabox for example.
Started the drawabox this month, i finished lesson1, im halfway the 250 boxes and i started lesson 2 meanwhile.
Figure drawing is a different skill in my opinion, nothing to do with drawabox where you basically tackle 3d space and objects in it. Figure drawing it's that, drawing the human figure whilst not making it feel stiff (unlike when you study anatomy, there you focus on a different skill and knowledge).
The repetitiveness is a crucial point for the brain-muscle connection, and i'm noticing it while im improving in drawing through the boxes.
I think they follow the dynamic drawing from Peter Han method, and they extended it to be a full free course. Most elements are similar in the approach.
What i'm doing is following the drawabox but not keeping myself busy just with that to finish it faster. I prefer doing it slower, understanding better, not burning out by doing other things (figure drawing as often as i can, master studies, anatomy, color, composition etc.)
Hope it's helpful and good luck!
