Here are the results of my third week of figure drawing practice. I read once that to form a habit you had to practice the activity for thirty days straight. I wonder if missing drawing on Monday and Friday counts against my thirty days?<\/p>\n

Figure Sketch Sept. 28, 2010<\/h2>\n

figure sketch 9-28-10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Source for this drawing is Posmanics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paper: acid free 82 GSM<\/p>\n

Media: BIC ReAction Gel 0.7 pen<\/p>\n

Size: 229mm x 305mm<\/p>\n

I spent so much time worrying about the height of the figure in this sketch I used up my budgeted 5 minutes of drawing time. You can see the vertical tick marks that I was using to keep the figure in proportion. The distance between each tick is the same as the length of the figure’s head.<\/p>\n

Figure Sketch Sept. 29, 2010<\/h2>\n
\"figure<\/a>
\n
figure sketch 9-29-10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paper: standard bond<\/p>\n

Media: cheap pen<\/p>\n

Size: 5.5\u2033x8.5\u2033<\/p>\n

After my failure from the previous day I jumped into this sketch without fussing over measuring the source figure. I was pleased with myself and the outcome. It’s a passable little sketch and I can’t see any problems until I compare it next to the original.<\/p>\n

Figure Sketch Sept. 30, 2010<\/h2>\n

Size: 5.5\u2033x8.5\u2033<\/p>\n

Still flush and pleased with my success from the previus day, I jumped into sketching again without continuously measuring my sketch against the source figure. The results were not pretty. Lesson learned; I’m not ready to “wing it” quite yet. More practice required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
