Drawing revisited



3 hour mass study /preliminary

10 hour drawing double page

In many cases there is good reason to do multiple studies ( figure work) of a same pose. In this instance I concluded after the first day that my point of view was not doing anything to keep me inspired so instead of wasting the proceeding 3 days of a 4 day pose, I decided to relocate and do a double page of a sketchbook instead. I able to resolve some anatomy uncertainties that I couldn't grasp from the previous perspective. At that time my goal was not the finished drawing.
   Sometimes it is nice to have a few more detailed drawings in a sketchbook to remind me, yes all this busy work will lead to better drawing. Now I dedicate complete books to time length (75 min portraits), testing (drawing ideas/theory or medium testing) or weekly exercises (2 min sketch/5 min sketch...). This way it helps me to learn and recall more specifically according to interests.
