Life drawing has been an interesting journey so far…
I don’t think I have enjoyed these sessions really at all, I’ve found at first that I didn’t really know what I was doing. I have no life drawing experience whatsoever and so I struggle with knowing how I should be drawing. I also found that the poses weren’t very expressive, I have a good grasp of anatomy so now I would love to learn how to show expression more with the body.
On the other hand the sessions have been good at getting me to draw every week. I’ve felt a little disconnected from drawing since starting the course, coming from an Illustration background I prefer to be drawing still images and so miss it when I’m not. This is probably just a sign that I need to be managing my time better so that I have time to animate AND draw. I have definitely felt like I’m behind everyone else and not as passionate as everyone else. I prefer drawing in my spare time instead of animating and that worries me that I may not be suitable for animating as my course mates.
