I finished that butt drawing. My camera sucks, so it probably looks better a little blurry than it does in actuality, with kind of scribbly pencil shading. But I’m more happy with the finish on this one, it let me think about modeling more, since there was a lot more halftone to fill in.
Next I’m doing the plate of the young girl. The initial block in went really well I think, I stayed focused on the big shapes for quite a while and I think that’s something that will always help me, and in the end it didn’t take long at all. The more refined stage has me scratching me head a bit, so I will have to keep searching for those shapes to be right. I think I’ve discovered the biggest downfall for students learning to draw. I’ve watched many art students, and myself. Everyone has a different amount of time that they spend establishing the big look of what they are drawing or painting. For some people it’s 5 minutes, for others it’s 5 hours. But most often it’s about 5 seconds before a beginner will start zeroing in on some detail and then it’s over. It kind of just spirals, and then they get lost trying to untangle a mess, if they notice at all that they’ve gone wrong. For example, I’ve definitely made the ear too large in general on the girl, but I tried to just fit everything else around it anyway. That’s not a healthy way to work, because instead of strengthening connections in your brain that actually let you draw, you are strengthening and rewarding the bad connections instead. One has to be very critical of themselves. At this point I half assume I’ve done it all wrong, it’s just a matter of figuring out how. Maybe someday that will change.
