Sustained Drawings

While reading the book "The Natural Way to Draw" by Kimon Nicolaides free pdf (Not sure if I used this site or not) , the lessons and exercises used in this book later on is composed mostly of sustained drawings, which utilize all the other previous exercises in this book and has us start to "mold" them together. I first made a gesture drawing on newsprint, did a blind contour drawing on tracing paper over the gesture, then did a modeled drawing on tracing paper over the contour drawing. Thanks for looking!

Drawings July 7th to July 11th

Hello, here are some drawings that I did this past week. This time I am moving on to change the way I draw my gestures by following the contours of the form more while still trying to retain/convey the same energy.  Thanks for visiting.

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay, but here are some drawings that I did the past two weeks while following the book, "The Natural Way to Draw" by Kimon Nicolaides.
