Figure Drawing 03.29.10

I often tend to draw rather fast. I like to try and get a lot of spontaneous energy in my drawings. As a change of pace, I’ve been trying to be a lot more deliberate in some of my drawings. The drawing above is an example of this. I really slowed down my pace and tried to attack the drawing from one to the other (as opposed to building the total drawing up). The slower approach definitely gives a different feel to the drawing. I really think it helps me focus on what I see, instead of drawing what I think I see.

I definitely prefer the faster high-energy drawings, but I think it’s good to mix in some of these more deliberate ones to help stretch my skills.
