I need to practise my drawing!
I’ve got into a really confined style and I need to break the mould a bit and experiement.
Do have a few issues with drawing in that I never studied art at gcse or a level so i don’t actually have any drawing knowledge apart from copying my dad when i was a kid. This always put me in a tissy over life drawing when they gave me a big blank page, some oil pastels and paint and said draw what you see, and when I couldn’t because I don’t know what tone is no-one ever really helped so I just swore to hate life drawing for the rest of my life. And the fact that I have never drawn anything apart from old men and women, never once have i had a different subject and flowers are just the worse.
But there’s nothing I can really do about that now apart from just powering through and banning the pencil and only using different materials and really really use my left (wrong) hand this time to see the result I get. I might try and use collage too to get basic shape then re-draw over it. Luckily I am doing costume and my characters are meant to look weird so I have a little le-way there.
I’m posting a blog about this in the hopes that it will encourage me to report back in a week or so with new and different drawings!
Fingers crossed.
P.s just realised, im doing an artistic course how do I not draw more? the mind boggles.
