DAY 21
I started this drawing quite few weeks ago and have been working on it on and off, but it had been long enough since I touched it that I was starting to feel like I was avoiding it a bit. So I spent a little time on it tonight. I think the head migh t be a bit big, but I’m kind of commited now.

The head is fine, no worries.
August 25, 2021 at 1:41 pm #1707621Thank you, dude! I need to prove to myself I can do this kind of figure drawing and that only laziness has previously held me back 😀
August 25, 2021 at 5:18 pm #1707859Woah!!!!! Do you also go to art school? Looks like you’ve been trained!
August 26, 2021 at 12:55 am #1708409Thank you! My Art School career was short and not very sweet! I went to Glasgow School of Art in 1999, completed first year, failed second year and dropped out after one term of my repeat year. But I would not have learned much about traditional art there anyway. I then gave up drawing and painting for a little over a decade (I was a huge dumbass back then), did a degree in Neuroscience (don’t ask), worked as a cancer scientist for several years and then returned to art in 2012 or so. I won a summer scholarship at the Florence Academy in 2014, which was amazing, but other than that my learning has been self directed from books, the web, the masters , etc. My lack of comprehensive training has always sapped my confidence and been a great weight hanging on me since I started drawing and painting again and I have never made it work as a career, to the extent that I had almost given up on it again over the last few years. Hence why I’m here! Sorry – you probably weren’t expecting my life story in response to your comment!

Still pluggin away at this thing. I’ve been deepening some of the shadows on the figure and lightening the background and I think the two are beginning to marry a bit better. Will need to revisit every area of the figure and make sure the the tonal heirarchy is working as I continue developing the environment. Slow progress, and a little tedious, but I’m determined to do the ebst job I can with this one.

Your work is amazing and so is your background! I especially love the charcoal figure drawing. I don’t feel qualified to offer any constructive feedback other than to say wow! I look forward to more of your posts!
