I hate it when I don't draw for long periods of time, because I almost have to relearn some things. Not good. In order to begin the warm up process I do some loose gesture sketching and stuff on that order.
Pose Maniacs is an awesome site I came across that gives you random images of models to draw. They also provide a timer for you to improve yourslef, from 10 to 90 seconds. Here is the result of my 45 sec session....
I know I should have gotten further along in 45 sec, but I'm working on it.
About that eyeball talk in the title.... For a while I was considering going back to school to get into Optical Dispencing....you know, as a backup plan to the art thang. As a result I was drawing eyeballs until my heart was content. .....sounds morbid, huh? Eventually I narrowed all my sketches down to one and recreated it on canvas.
IT WAS A BLAST! Check out the process....
Very interesting idea on the Pose Maniacs site, for those needing to get their creativity going! This could help some people. I wonder what would help slow down the ideas though, for those with too much creativity overload..
