Drawing - Image Heavy

[digdenton]

I would first like to say the key to drawing is drawing. Just draw as much as you can and you will get a lot better. In terms of improving your drawings, work on getting more greys and getting a full spectrum from white to black. This will give your drawings more volume and shape. Also, just work on getting relationships nailed down. To do this use line of action, break down the image into basic lines that convey the motion of the image. I attached an example of this to give you an idea in case you don't understand. Its just a really quick, like 30 secs, figure study from class, sorry about the quality of the image. Hopefully it helps. Yeah getting people to pose for you can be a pain but its really the best way to go. If you cant find any figure drawing sessions at local schools or artist groups, get some anatomy books, they can help a lot. But most importantly, just keep drawing and everything will come into its place. Best of luck.
