If you haven’t been keeping up with my Development Diary then you probably don’t know that one of my New Year’s resolutions was to improve my drawing skill. It’s something that I’ve needed to do for a while, and my efforts have turned to figure drawing, specifically. My procedure, involves selecting poses from Mario Chakour’s “Virtual Pose 3″, and then drawing them from all four sides. Once I’ve gone through all the poses, I’ll review myself, to see if I’ve improved, and I’ll move on to something else. (Possibly Bargue’s Figure Drawing Course, or a series of drawings from anatomy books, to help improve my technical representation.) Right now, the intention is to learn how to properly *see* the human figure, and that’s a very difficult task.
To that end, I was trying to select one pose a week, and do all four drawings in that week. Then select one of the sketches, and complete the finished drawing around the four sketches of the next week’s pose. This is turning out to be ambitious with other commitments, but I’m still plugging away.
Okay, so it’s the not-so-daily drawing lately, but I’m still working hard to keep up with it. We’re still on Pose #3, and this the third view of that pose. I’ve been forced to restrict drawing time to less-than-usual, so it’s either spend several days on these sketches, to get them to the semi-finished state of normal, or leave them in sketch format. I’m making that choice on a per-sketch/per-day basis, so this one’s only a bare sketch.
