I have been quite busy with school; my initial goal was to be able to post each day, however, work and school made it hard for me to do so. I should have a lot more sketches than I do now. One of my goals is to draw a helluva a lot more often and a lot longer than I am now.
I am taking a break from Andrew Loomis's Drawing the Head and hands and beginning to study his book, Figure Drawing For All It's Worth. Before, I thought I should focus on one part of the body at a tie until I became quite skilled in drawing and observing those parts. That has become very tedious and at times, I didn't look forward to my studies. I almost turn into a vegetable after studying heads for weeks on end: constructing the head in various angles is no longer a chore, and I memorized the planes of the face. I needed a change of pace and I think mixing it up more often will aid in my growth.
Does anyone know how I can apply my studies into full fledged art projects? I think it will help cement concepts and of course prove to be enjoyable.
