I’ve been drawing faces in photoshop off the top of my head without reference for the last few days.
I dunno, its not really clear where I’m going with this, I’m sure somewhere. I’m not happy with where I was artistically. I just don’t feel like I have a voice or a tone or a look or a subject matter that is my own. I don’t know if I even need it… I’m just sticking at home-base, the human figure/portrait, and I like girls, so….that’s what you get. So I’m just hovering back here trying to get better at something with little or no direction, which can feel unproductive at times.
However, there are photographs and paintings that make me go “YES. THAT. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO COME OUT OF MY HANDS” so maybe I’m just still building up to that. Maybe I’m being timid. I don’t know.
Regardless, I think drawing like this is productive, even if I can’t explain why. I’m figuring out what I don’t know, so that I can go learn it. Maybe that’s it.
Ahh, the Zhu method, what a glorious method. Good job sir.
