Mabelma's Thread of Stuff (Art)

[Chris2Balls [:B]]

Hey Mabelma, have you reread the posts I made on your last drawing thread? I don't trust books. Sure, they show anatomy and brushstrokes, etc. but you need to apply it yourself. You need to apply it, try it out, work it out. You need to see a result and try and work a way out to get to it. I rely more on my own anatomy now than the one in my book. I sometimes spend time looking at myself in a mirror moving my arms or legs and contracting, so I get an idea on how everything works and looks.
Have you sketched things that you have seen in the day, such as animals, people, architecture or landscapes? Have you tried different media? If you haven't, do so. I suggest watercolours nad pencils for the day. Keep on posting.
