I think my subconscious is trying to tell me something… 🙂
I promise that I understand proportions. But this exercise is to get me drawing and releasing. No erasing. I mean part of that is because the Rocketpad is challenging to erase one part of it, but mostly it’s to keep me from overthinking and erasing anything before I even start. And so, we have the broken faerie. If I like a sketch enough I can work on it digitally and clean it up that way. which will be a later post. 🙂
I could blame the tools. I could say it was a bad day. I could say that I needed to warm up. They all play a part in bad art.
In this series, I am not allowing myself erasing nor am I warming up. It’s funny. When I took art classes, I was always taught that you should do half an hour of warming up your artistic muscles by doing shading and scribbling. I don’t see many artists doing that. But it honestly helps.
What I’m also learning from this series is the value of being able to erase and to be able to put down some foundation lines and building up from there. Anything where I don’t do that, I’m considering a doodle, as seen above. I’m getting to the point now where I want to get back to working on actual artwork. It’s a nice feeling.
