Pax's Progress

[Pax]

Using accuracy as a long term goal that can be achieved via daily practice seems a lot more viable to me; I was listening to Sheldon Borenstein's lessons about the construction of the human body and I noticed how much he deviated from the model in his demos. Obviously, he's a master, so he has more than enough mileage and ability to tilt and rotate the human body rather easily without considering it. Also, all of his figures look very design heavy and he places a lot of emphasis on design via a combination of C, S, and I shaped curves. Accuracy seems to be more of a tool and an aid for good studying that's unhindered by getting incorrect proportion, rather than a be all end all.

In terms of work done I believe I had some good moments and bad moments, but I think there's something other than accuracy that's really hindering my work when I have good moments. My line quality, maybe? Sloppy structure? Lack of cross contours actually showing the form? Or maybe it is accuracy. Obviously, a lot of it just woefully inaccurate but when I do have moments of somewhat accuracy I'm unsure of what my primary fault is.

Or, maybe I'm just worrying about all of this too much and I need to draw more before I even consider my faults and weaknesses.
