First Week of the Drawing Course

This first week has been fully focused on seeing and drawing gestures. It has been quite challenging, one keeps going back to “copying” the model continuously. What we have been doing now is practicing to turn that part of the brain off and draw the essence more than the form you are seeing. I didn’t understand this at first, but now I do. I’ve been to three life drawing sessions this week and have developed a lot from just that. I also noticed how I draw much more effectively right after being to a life drawing class.

The last page I did during the last life drawing class I went to this week. The red is corrections made by Jerker. I still have a long way to go, but I couldn’t have done this a week ago.
