sorry for the poor photo quality, I snapped this with my phone |
We had to draw 30 thumbnails - 10 animals, 10 birds and 10 human figures. HUMANS! What! Aren't those like the hardest thing to draw. I won't say there were tears, but almost tears. It was the big welling up of the eyes, but no actual release of a tear (quite proud of myself for sort of holding it together).
I had a terrible time working on this project. I spent extra time talking to the professor asking him more questions on related arcs (his first instruction was pretty vague). I started to get it a little more with each object I would draw, but still lacking translating my brainwaves thru my hand onto paper. Here is how things work for me. I am not a masterful drawer. I can't just seat down and draw something that people will recognize. So I usually look up pictures on the WWW of what I want to draw (in their simplest format) and basically copy them. This is how I proceeded with this project as well. And I saved the worst for last, human figures. I was lucky to find some drawings online that I could reference and surprise I was able to make some half decent looking human figures. Decent in the sense that they are not planes that look like whales. I was so surprised and slightly proud of myself that even though it might not be my best drawing, I turned in my human figure drawing.
