#Workinprogress #christopherpugliese I've been thinking about this painting for four years. When I first started it I knew I was into something good, but deep down I knew it wasn't there yet. It has taken several years of adventures, heartbreaks and triumphs to come back to it and risk erasing the past to create something new. Check my previous posts and stories to see the bigger picture.

I'm going to be teaching a special workshop in anatomy focusing on the heads hands and feet in August. These are problem areas for everyone including me. There's something about the overlapping nature of the fingers and toes feet that puts me in a panic. I rush to draw them instead of taking the time to place them appropriately connected to the foot. As I've said before much of the drawing process is simply calming down, taking your time and figuring out what you're actually trying to do. And That's the most important thing figuring out what you are actually trying to do. We can move mountains if we simply decide which mountain we want to lift. #christopherpugliese #ballpoint #drawanyway #gesturedrawing (at SoHo)
