Colored Pencil!!
Thursday, December 4, 2008
I bought a brand new small moleskine and the cheapest colored pencils i could find. i'll fill this sketchbook with memory drawings from people i see in coffeeshops or on the train.
I saw a video of Stephen Silver where he told that you get most out of lifedrawing by drawing once, turning the paper, and them drawing the same thing from mind. I did this during the last lifedrawing in class and i think its a great thing to do.
I still remember the five poses I've drawn last monday and i think ive learned more than in all the sessions before. I drew every pose twice that way.
I decided to change my starbucks drawing routine a little. I used to draw the people while looking at them all the time. This time I observed first and then sketched from memory.
This way I am forced to simplify and caricature a lot more, cause I can't memorize all the tiny details.
The result are the first two images you see here. The rest is doodle from mind while in class.
