#constructive_drawing

No, honestly. I don’t think I can continue these extremely long descriptions. I’m honestly starting to get pretty tired of them. I really just want to hurry up and finish uploading all of this stuff. Alright, well, again, another series of drawing the same thing over and over again. This spider was pretty much just a circle with kegs, honestly. Frankly, though, looking back at this, I really do realize just how badly I seemed to have messed up the proportions, with how obscenely massive I made the abdomen.

Well, this is it. Not just the last set of drawings I did for the insect drawing assignment, but also the last drawings I did for Draw A Box before I ultimately gave up on the whole venture. I had tried sticking with the website for a couple months, but after all that, I felt like I simply was not improving at all, in any way. Maybe I was missing something, but seeing everybody else talk about how impressed they were with their own progress made me uncomfortable and insecure. I ultimately dropped the curriculum after deciding that maybe it just wasn’t for me. Oh, and I also remember I had hurt my hand at some point during it all and wasn’t able to draw for quite a while. After I recovered is when I ultimately decided to make that decision.

Various crudely made drawings of insects from reference I did soley for drawing practice. Redrawn from the previous post, but now in pencil again. I tried using pen, black this time, for a bit because I thought it’d help make the final picture stand out more from the initial construction lines, but I really didn’t like how it turned out, so I ultimately reverted back to using pencil.
