Week 1 Review:
Managed to hit my goal of going to the gym 4 times and got my 3 pages of drawing done everyday so that was a good start. Even though volume of work doesn't necessarily equal quality I completed about 24 pages of drawings this week and that's a butt load more drawing than I usually get in. The harder part is going to be in keeping it a habit.
I still don't feel tangibly closer to figuring out exactly what I really, really love drawing subject matter wise but I am more enjoying just jumping on pinterest, scrolling around for a while and diving into whatever cool animal/ armour/ piece of technology interests me.
I'm trying to supplement that with additional info too. eg. when I did the diving helmets I watched some videos on how they were made and how they worked, when I drew the medieval armour I watched some videos about how blacksmiths crafted them. That seems to be making the info stick a bit more.
I'll try repeat this for next week and see how it goes. I am really itching to dive into just figure studies though...
