Another calm and productive day of art making. I’m getting in a groove now and the necessity to rush is fading.
My Sheldon Cooper drawing is coming a long great. I’m moving slowly through it because the simplicity of the shading could be easily marred with a minimal amount misplaced strokes. I must be careful.
The normal 15 minute warm-up in graphite.
The challenges continue with the 250 box challenge. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll every be able to create perfect boxes with freehand ink drawing.
This is a fun exercise. Just the head, only the head. But compacted into one minute. Getting stuck on the details is perilous here so I try to always sketch in the shape of the head first before carving in the features.
My cat sleeping in his box for a sketch. Then a couple of hikers we passed on a the mountain trail yesterday with their cute puppy. I really need practice drawing dogs.
My art day was calm and productive as I moved through each of my tasks.
Give the draw a box exercises more time this week.
The larger shapes first, then the features.
