arts

10 minute portraits.

I'm pretty sure I suck at drawing more now than I ever did before. I found an old sketch book from a few years ago, and it looks like I was drawing better back then. I've taken an interest in figure drawing, and have found that my fast rough attempts at the human figure have yielded the best results so far.

Looking at sculptures of figures, I've tried to focus on the specifics of what makes a sketch more lifelike, more like the actual thing. Looking at sculptures of the author Dante, and gave it shot. These quick 5-10 minute attempts have actually helped improve my drawing.

I never took art classes. I'm sure if I did, I would be a better artist. Whatever.

If I ever get my scanner working, I'll post my sketches.
