I have always dreaded drawing, and yet I am finding the practice to be exciting, fun. I am looking forward to sitting down each day and focusing on some natural object, then trying to bring it to the page as accurately as I can.
After completing a sketch, I am tired. It takes a big dose of mental energy. I have learned that if I repeat the exercise, the second sketch is easier, quicker and usually, a better result. -
Drawing a bird from a photo is hard because there he is, in all his birdness, and you have to represent him authentically. Very hard for me-- and I tend to abstract things. For me it was hard to get the silhouette right; hard to get the beak at the correct angle; hard to get the legs and feet at the right angle and hard to get the body proportions right. Still, I love the process and intend to keep on trying. I love reading others comments and sharing our drawings.
