\"colored<\/a><\/p>\n

Figure drawing has always been my crutch so I’ve been re-learning the basics lately. Well I\u00a0had a lot of practice drawing people back in art school – in fact we had an entire\u00a0semester\u00a0devoted to it\u00a0but\u00a0after years of relying on digital tools,\u00a0sadly\u00a0my skills deteriorated over time (see proof in\u00a0my art style evolution blog post<\/a>). Among my resolutions for the year was to hone whatever skills I developed in my early years\u00a0and pick up where I left off.<\/p>\n

I don’t post them online but each night for the past month I would draw human forms in different positions\u00a0and let Arnold<\/a> (who obviously is a whiz at figure drawing) check them for flaws. Below\u00a0are some initial practice sketches from a month ago (waaah, don’t laugh \ud83d\ude33 ).<\/p>\n

Now you know why I’ve always been drawing cartoon style, I was pretty bad at realistic figure drawing. Arn is a very strict teacher actually, he would give me drills and make me re-draw over and over until I would get details right. (He *should* hold workshops, don’t you think?)<\/p>\n

It really helped me find the right path again and soon, I was able to draw those colored pencil illustrations posted above and this one below.<\/p>\n

Kinda leaning (hah! ????) towards figure drawing these days. ?? #illustration #coloredpencils #artph<\/a><\/p>\n
