Relax
Now I’m trying to relax more while drawing.
Beautiful approach for beautiful drawings.
Relax - now, that doesn’t mean to sleep!
I’m fluctuating between two approaches.
I guess I’ll work on both of them,
and use whichever one is appropriate at the time when I’m drawing.
The first approach - 3-d shapes. Like wedge, egg, pyramid, book,
dish-detergent-bottle. That sort of stuff. Definite decisions in the predraw instead of
wild scribbling. Here are 2 pictures (just the line-art) using that approach.
I was able to sit back and relax.
I like the results. Even before putting in any shading, it looks real solid:
Until I do maaaaannyyy of those though, I think the second approach will work better at parties.
It’s much faster. NO predraw at all this time. Just basic knowledge and simple shapes
- drawing from the inside out. As you can see in the following sample, though, this approach
usually grows too big for the page.
But when I try things like limited predraw of outsides before doing insides with marker
it gets stiff and boring to me. So now I’m thinking
of trying athird approach - no predraw - outside-in.
Stay tuned - I hope to post those studies soon.
Meanwhile, here’s the picture drawn from the inside out - with no predraw:
