Daily Progress 11

I guess I took a little break from continuing the drawing studies and just doodles and drew a bit. So I guess this isn't really a daily progress. Just have a little quick piece I thought I put up.

Alright so that's 3 days with no updates, shame on me. Last time I didn't update it was a week, so on the bright side it's getting better right? I'm on to the head.

I'm going to start updating on weekends as well to make sure the momentum doesn't stop. Getting the ball rolling again after not drawing as much or at all is one of the hardest things.

Daily Progress 9

Just did a little bit of doodling. The weekends are more relaxed for me, mostly making time for my other projects. Still trying to draw about 4 hours or more though.

Daily Progress 8

Today I did hand and feet studies. Spent more time at the drawing desk today (8+ hrs) but I felt like I didn't draw enough for the amount of time. I would look over the diagrams of the anatomy, study them and think about it a bit. I figured at even more so that I should just draw as much as possible by way of repetition. Just keep drawing the same side of the foot, or leg ect., do drills. Of course I don't want to mindlessly do this so at the same time making sure to really think about the structure and mechanics of what I'm drawing in three dimensional space.

Daily Progress 7

Played around today mostly. Drew some female figures, worked on the leg a bit more to get a better shape. Played with shapes a bit more.

Daily Progress 6

Did more study of the legs. Getting a complete grasp of the leg anatomy was pretty different than the arm anatomy. The handling the muscles was not as overwhelming as the arm but getting the right shape in my mind was a bit tougher. With the arms it seems like as long as you placed the muscles correctly the the shape of the arm came out. The legs seemed more elusive. They seemed misleading easier at first, but required no less attention than the arms. The area around the hips seemed to give me the most trouble.
