Since I'm kind of caught up on my current shows, tonight I drew something more random. I looked up some of John Galliano's couture and decided to draw from that.
The fashion figure is so unlike the figure I know, I think I instinctively added curve and form to the woman, rather than accurately capture the image in front of me. The angle of the model made drawing the boots... interesting. I mean, there was no heel for a grounding, so it ended up looking like these weirdo bound stumps. But I tried!
It was sort of freeing to just draw something random. Also, I'm sketching FAST! It's like getting down to about 15 to 20 minutes to get these done. I suppose I could go slower, but I'm not stressing out about drawing anymore. I seriously used to STRESS OUT about drawing, and now I don't think anything of it. If I'm comfortable at this speed, then I should continue to roll with it.
So, does anyone read this blog, still? I mean, I started this as a motivational tool to keep me drawing, and I think it's been 85% effective for that. Then it turned into a great feedback tool. Now it seems... solitary? Are you out there, readers?
Is anybody there?
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody care?
Does anybody see, what I see?
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
And yes, someone is here, someone does care and we don't see what you see, but we're learning.
<3 you.
I'm here, Eric! I love your work. I don't read every day, but when I do, I'm always impressed. Good for you on drawing without fear! No worries! Keep it up! Love, Ta Ta
ReplyDeleteEric, I'm here (its Travis W.)...although I may not comment often, I always check your sketch-a-day!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you discuss whys and wherefores< that you don't just present the drawing.
