@Fedodika: Hi!
You’re definitely right about needing to draw more. I think I get impatient to get to painting (because that’s the fun part for me), so I probably don’t construct things as solidly as I should from the drawing up. (I think I kind of inadvertently learned how to run before actually learning how to walk, so the old saying goes.) Even when starting a study (master or otherwise), I’ll usually loosely just block in the big shapes with color/value, then whittle down as I go. I would probably benefit from drawing things out almost entirely, solely to work on drafting, then paint once that’s set.
I’m actually currently subscribed to the self-paced Schoolisim courses. (Love it!) I recently started the Craig Mullins class on painting, but maybe I’d benefit more from Fundamentals of Drawing course by Thomas Fluharty? Perhaps I’ll put Craig on a back burner for now and swap courses. (Certainly can’t hurt, right?)
No worries about being tired — your points about drawing were very helpful! It made me stop and think about my process, which I don’t really think I’ve done in a while. (As weird as that sounds. I know.) Thank you! <3
