RE: Functional nude - double selfportrait in walnut ink on paper.

in #art8 years ago

I have followed a few lessons in my past. I always want to learn how to make portraits because that is something i really find hard to do. I tried it over and over but I am never happy with the outcome.

Sort:  

Drawing has everything to do with good observation and that's something everybody has to learn. And after that, you have to experiment and practice.

There are playful exercises I used in my classes, inspired on this book:

Some background information: http://www.learn-to-draw-right.com/right-brain-drawing.html

It's a non-convential approach on drawing.
The exercises are developed to look in a different way, loosening and the childlike joy of drawing. Totally not result-oriented, but playful, draw to draw.
It helped me greatly in developing my own skills, so I can recommend it to everyone!
