My Last Two Weeks in Art
Summarised, it's pretty much productive procrastination. So I decided to complete torso gestures in Chris' free figure drawing course. And I struggled like crazy to draw the torsos in the timed poses video. So like every procrastinating artist does, I magically remembered I had other topics I wanted to practice and decided to focus on them for a while.
I have a digital copy of 'The New Drawing On The Right Side of The Brain' by Betty Edwards, so I began working through a few pages, read some interesting information on how the brain works and its relation to art, drew a pretty decent self-portrait, my right hand and a copy of the optical-illusion drawing 'Vase/Faces'. I mostly repeated drawing exercises, started a "Learn to draw in 30 days challenge" by Marc Brunet, one of my favourite art teachers for stylized work (currently on day 6) and decided to observe how much I progressed in the last two months by drawing an original character and comparing it with one I drew in August (really surprised me). Eventually I returned to complete the timed poses video and did much better than before.
Overall, art practice really made this holiday more enjoyable. I've finally got my art education organised and began to practice consistently even if it was only short drawing exercises. School will reopen next week, but I at least have a consistency plan now. Tldr; I had a great two weeks.
