Today was "Face your fear day."
For the longest time, I've done all sorts of quick people drawings, but would kinda think, "well, it's just a gesture/practice drawing--I could do MUCH better if I really tried." I felt kinda safe.
Today I decided to see where my real limit was. No excuses. I spent 30 minutes warming up with 60 second gesture drawings, then did 2 figure sketches from reference where I tried to get everything right. I admit I fell short of what I thought I could do! But at least I have an honest starting point.
This is as good as it gets right now. Where do I fall short the most? Gesture? Anatomy? Proportion? Something else?
