Last week I worked on the second last chapter of Betty Edwards' book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". This chapter focused on drawing a face by profile. The book asks to draw a person from life but I couldn't find anyone wanting to model for me so I drew Taylor Swift from a picture. I know it's not the same thing, but for now that will do.
This week I did a few exercises on perspective. I feel like it was easy enough to get ok results, but it's really hard to reach really good results. I practices both one and two point perspective. I didn't do three points yet because apparently it's only used if you are looking down or up a tall building.
In the "Crossing Over from Left to Right" chapter, the "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" book I'm following (see drawing) gives you an exercise: you have to draw "Portrait of Igor Stravinsky" by Pablo Picasso, upside down.
So this image:
But instead of drawing it by looking at it straight, it's flipped over, like this:
As mentioned in the previous post I've just started learning to draw with the "Drawing On The Right Side of the Brain" book by Betty Edwards (https://www.drawright.com/). I haven't done any "lesson" yet but the book asks to do a few pre-instruction drawings, so here they are!
As mentioned in drawing I've decided to embark this journey of learning to draw, inspired by a random workshop I walked into accidentally at Lucca Comics, and seeing all the beauty of that world with fresh eyes (I went to the festival for the "Games" part, but was really fascinated by the illustration part).
I don't have the confidence necessary to show up at a drawing course in Tuscany (just feel the pressure of being in the land of Da Vinci and show up to a course there 馃槵), so I decided to look online for the next best thing (the blessing of living in this day and age is that you can find everything on the internet).
