Chose a 6B for this session which immediately made a huge difference to my drawing. I have also discovered that using this sketchbook is not ideal for these sessions as the size is too small and I’m going to run out of pages!
This week’s focus was on drawing the verb instead of the noun – capturing the action rather than the figure. This is definitely new for me and I think my drawings show that I still want to draw more precisely, however, I feel I have already massively improved from last week.
These were the first 30 second drawings of the session – my mind was so blank I had no idea how to even start trying to capture the movement! The format of these sessions is so interesting to me as it really helps me to get into the flow of drawing and understanding how to get things on the page.
Some of my final drawings. I attempted to create more drawings using lines of action but felt like the bean method was working much better for me. Hopefully with more practice I can combine the two and get some more interesting drawings on the page.
