Just keep swimming :P

Hey guys :)

Haven't updated in a few days, but I've been drawing!
I'm still doing Plate 1, and I'm trying to take my time with it. Doing some of the same drawings over and over again, to make sure I understand what they're all about.

I won't bore you with the repetitiveness of seeing the same thing over and over again though, so I'll just show some of the progress I've complied into one image.




I really feel like I've made progress doing these :).

Some of them are digtital, and some I did with a pencil...But you'd never know because I used pencil brushes for the digital ones!

How smart am I? :P

P.S. That one with the knife was difficult to draw.

Punched in the face

Not literally, but still :P.

There's been a lot of silence here, and I apologize for that. I've been feeling really down lately :(.

I've just been feeling like maybe this isn't such a good idea...Maybe I'll never get good at this :(.

But I across this blog post about progressive learning. And I think I'm going to try it out.

Basically, it's breaking things down, and learning them in parts. So instead of trying to do my figure drawings like I used to, I'm going to try to learn different parts at different times :).

Starting with the human head.

So here's a little of what I did today. It's still early, so I may do more...But I want to post here since it's been so quiet :P. It's from Plate 1 (1-4) of Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis :).



And thanks for the poke Julia :). It's really awesome to have someone who cares enough to check up on me :).

P.S. I wonder if doing these digitally is a good idea... If anyone has any ideas, please share your thoughts :)
