Greetings from Brazil :), I'm Raphael, an aspiring 3D Modeler and Animator. I love to draw since my childhood, but the scientist career looked more realist for me and my parents, so I didn't take drawing so seriously. Now I'm doing Computer Science (and hating it :cry: ) and I'm waiting until the end of the year to change the course to "Digital Systems and Media" (which was created this year and is more suitable for what I want). So I have this whole year to study drawing / sculpting and 3D Modeling/Animating by myself =D.
I'm using the "The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" book and I've read some pages and done some exercises of Andrew Loomis "Figure Drawing for All it's worth", but I decided to finish the "The New DotRSotB" first.

The left side of the drawing looks like me =D

I have not felt any conflict, just a headache when I first did it, then I tried to do it 3 times more, and I felt no conflict :/

I'm actually in the Pure Contour Drawing exercise and I have some questions. I've done 6 Pure Contour Drawing, but I didn't feel what she said "You will find yourself becoming fascinated with the wondrous
complexity of what you are seeing, and you will feel that you could go deeper and deeper into the complexity.", should I do it again and again until I feel it? Can I lift the pencil from the paper? How far should my hand be from my face (so I can "feel that you could go deeper and deeper into the complexity?).

The left one was my first attempt (not lifting the pencil from the paper, and I didn't draw all the wrinkles. In the right one I lifted the pencil from the paper.)
And I'm thinking about read "The Natural Way to Draw". Should I go straight to this book or finish the "The New DotRSotB" first?
That's it, thank you =)
