Feeling grateful
Forgive me, but I was drawing in church again. I can focus so much better if I do and fidget if I don't.
This was the first time I tried to overlap the figures and was surprised by how easy it is. Now I'm wondering if I can start overlapping in other drawings too - overlapped dogs, for example, and landscapes with branches that bump into each other. Some day I would like to be at the "intermediate" level.
Steve baked a shepherd's pie for supper tonight. It was truly awesome. I know I have it good - home cooked meals that I rarely prepare for myself.
Many would say that if you are sketching live you are at the intermediate level. It's always very challenging, and I think you did a fine job with this one. (But did you hear the sermon?) Nice when we can feel the growth from drawing to drawing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that sketching live puts you in the intermediate level. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like the sketch, definitely 'intermediate'! People are overlapping very convincingly.
ReplyDeleteI think that your idea to draw in church is excellent! I might give it a try too (or Chinese variation: sketching in Buddhist temple).
Good job! I will always try not to 'see' the levels of a person's skill in art, but rather seeing what he/she is trying to tell and represent instead. I find that if I do that, I will be touched easily by their work, like how yours did too ^^
