Figure drawing on the left. Felt a bit more confident in drawing but I don’t know, it’s wasn’t a super tough pose. Second pose is from imagination, little more confident but the proportions are wonky but idk. the struggle continues.

 

aye, 3 hours back to back nights.

Start of the week! Let’s see if I can stick to the checklist I thought up in my last post. Pictured above is 30 minutes of timed gestures and 1 hour of figure drawing. We’re on track! I’m having so much trouble with these forms that I’m thinking I should study the anatomy more directly. So, after this blazing start what did I do? I procrastinated for the next 7 hours haha fuck me!

Welp, the night wasn’t a complete failure, I was able to do 35 minutes of folds studies:

So I got like ~40% of the checklist done. Let’s try again tomorrow!

lazy fuck update

It’s so easy to fall off the wagon. So easy. Basically didn’t draw shit for a week. The routine is obvious by now, waste time during the week, make it okay by promising to make up for it during the weekend, be a lazy fuck and don’t do jack shit. Well almost jack shit, managed to kick myself to get 3 hours in Sunday night.

a first for the blog, went through a couple pages from barbara bradley’s clothed figure book in a sketchbook while at work.

lazy fuck time skip. this is what i did last night, more figure drawing more of the same shit plus I was rusty from being a lazy fuck. I think I need to come up with a more practical schedule, i adhered to that schedule i posted a while back for like a week.

something like:

30 minutes of timed gestures

1 hour of figure drawing(dont avoid hands/feet)

1 hour of cloth/fabric/folds study.

1 hour of portraits/faces.

1 hour of drawing from imagination.

5 hours a night, it’s totally doable and not super stressful but im a lazy fuck so yeah, lol.
