The last time I did any was at college many moons ago so it is now heaven to be able to sit uninterrupted for two hours every week drawing and becoming so totally absorbed. I love the challenge of the trying to capture the form and shadow, haven't been brave enough to try charcoal yet though! Loving your sketches. ruthiehttp://5preciousthings.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-27988833530407189612013-03-06T10:19:02.999-08:002013-03-06T10:19:02.999-08:00I have never drawn the human figure, maybe years a...I have never drawn the human figure, maybe years ago the hands. I sometimes pass the time at the airport or station by sketching people. I would try to quickly capture the person. Your sketches are very good and I can see why you find it so fascinating and useful in your illustrations to really know about the proportions and movements in figure drawing. <br /> Good to see you back and learn that you are having some good quality time drawing at your class.MILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701141335185294744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355149742719060654.post-85927386124582949812013-03-04T06:49:41.038-08:002013-03-04T06:49:41.038-08:00Great to get back to it, isn't it?
Its been ...Great to get back to it, isn't it? <br /><br />Its been eons since I've done any figure drawing... I used to love it. I think I loved the attention and focus it demanded, somehow different than other endeavors. Landscapes stay and details are variable. The human form, while variable, has certain proportions that one either gets or not. Like that foreshortening issue.... always a challenge!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.com
