I've decided to do the exercises outlined in the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. The first task is to do three preliminary drawings: a person drawn from memory, a self portrait, and my hand. I did these this morning:
This is my sister Jackie. I don't think it looks a thing like her! Eyes too far apart, looks like she had a stroke ... 10 minutes
Me. I like the left half better than the right. I think it looks kinda like me, face not long enough, eyes again too big. 45 minutes.
My left hand. I haven't drawn a hand in ?20 years? This is good!
I enjoyed doing these. I'm looking forward to progressing in the book. I feel like my drawing skills are basically ok; I'm ready to improve!
