Day 04 – 2024/01/11
This was written February 09, 2024 as part of the 2024 Learning to Draw People Challenge
On this day, I had a few technical issues. The canvas ended up in the wrong orientation, and unfortunately, I didn’t manage to record the process. Since it was over a month ago at the time of writing, I do not remember a lot, so let’s keep it short.
First of all, at this point, I had started to watch videos related to drawing, and stumbled upon this video about line confidence. If you’re interested, I recommend giving it a watch. Following this, I opted to start with some of the recommended exercises. As noted on the final one, overall it took me roughly 8 minutes, which isn’t too bad. Here are the results of the exercises:
Let’s now consider the drawing session. Overall, I spent roughly 70 minutes (including 8mins of exercises). I also felt a little more confident with my lines (according to a note I left myself). However, I’m not sure whether this is related to starting the exercises, or having a little more experience following the previous three days. However, the result is still questionable. I think the hair turned out better than on day 03, but I think there are definitely some spatial issues with the overall proportions and the placement of some elements, in particular the eyes. (Although this could probably be fixed quickly with some editing tools). And despite the increased line confidence, some of the lines have issues, such as with the jaw line. But overall, it’s not too bad, especially compared to day 01. Here is the drawing:
