I drew women almost exclusively for years....like from the time I was 15 until about.....37ish. Yeah. Thats about right. I did it out of my imagination, though. Looking back, I wish I had taken the very scary plunge into drawing actual people I was observing. Everything I did then was all elfquest influenced. I am only now learning good solid drawing skills at 43. So....I'm not convinced you *can* draw the female figure too much. People are hard because half an inch off here or there ....and you get something by picasso and then feel bad. Then your inner critic stops you from progressing. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

I mean.....two weeks ago this insanely handsome man walks in to the painting studio at school and.....blam! Rotated my world to another axis. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Oh. He lets me draw him nude. I faint frequently. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Oh man you guys.....you are NOT going to believe why you havent heard from me since last week. My crush of epic proportions and I just got back from reno. Seriously. We got married. Painting got put on hold. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn." This man and i are totally feeding off each other creatively. There will be good stuff coming!

Nope. Thats just a pencil drawing with some yellow paint spots over it in locations where i want shadows to be. Frisket freaks me out. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Bwahahahaha! "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Testng 2 3 4 "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Testing 1 2 3.... "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Ok. I think I have a handle on the photos now! Ive been struggling all week to post them. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn." now redrawn and in process of becoming a watercolor painting. This is layer one.

I can't upload photos and I've gone into settings 800 times to try to figure out why its not working. It worked a few times....then quit. Head.....exploding. Usung a samsung galaxy s3 and trying to post photos I have taken with it. Advice? "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

These are actually really really nice. I just want you to know that in one of my paintings, the girl has 6 fingers on her left hand. My name is inigo montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. This was discovered in front of the whole class on critique day. Ne stresse pas. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Better late than never! ça va "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Two things that just rocketed my skills: In color, go look up how to mix tint, tone, and shade with all the primaries and secondaries. In drawing, start doing 3 minute gesture drawings, preferably of someone nude if you have anyone willing to sit for you. Just have them pose for a song, then pose differently for a different song. At the end of each song..... move! charcoal on newsprint is a cheap cheap way to do this, 4 to a page. Dressed is ok, but nude is better. And just do it over and over, preferably a few times a week These two exercises did more for my painting color theory and general drawing proficiency than anything else. And likenesses are much easier now. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn." This was a 10 min drawing.

There are a number of ways that artists use guides to get facial features in more or less the right spot. Freehanding that can be super hard. Glass and a charcoal rubbing Projectors graphing it out with squares Dividing your image into a pie shape.... Don't consider it to be cheating because once you get those landmarks in, you still have to do everything else. "A friend told me I was delusional. I nearly fell off my unicorn."

Did all workouts th f sa su m Drank all water Avoided cheetos. Whoot! 6 week challenge met so far! Bonus points: Figured out a time slot and place on campus for my non workout days tu wed and snuck in about 30-40 min each day, minimun. Grade for the week: A for AWESOME. Princess Katerina is closer to being rescued. Two lbs lost this week. Found a new handsome friend at school who lets me pet his biceps. Which are considerable. this immediately makes me want to work out. double plus bonus superhero points: avoided disintigrating when my lost love suddenly actually spoke to me for the first time in 3 months. Fainted. Cried. Wanted to throw up. Wrote him a manifesto instead. Decided he was a jerkypants. He really was. Hw 210 Lw 135 Cw 203 Gw 201 Ugw 145ish "A friend told me I was delusional.
