Figure drawing again from YouTube.

Back to drawing from photos at home.

With this post I’m finally caught up on my posts. The last month and a half posts I’ve published in the past week.

Even in these couple week of half hour sessions I’m getting my skills back up to speed.

I’m still taking my time, I’m not getting as much of the figure done but I like what I accomplish more.

I changed my art time to earlier in the day and it is the best.

I’m finally getting back into my daily habits.

I’ve spent the past couple week trying to catch up on posts, I was behind by almost two months.

Here I’m back to focusing and going slowly, getting it correct the first time, drawing exactly how I see it.

Using charcoal again I find that it is easier to draw with because it doesn’t slide as much over the paper.

I would prefer less drawing done if what I did draw was more accurate.

I definitely prefer a more clean line rather than the shaky line I used today.

I feel that I do better when I go a bit slower and focus even though these are gestures.

I get a little better every day.

The more I do these the more I think I should never stop drawing the figure daily.

Figure drawing from the CroquisCafe on YouTube.

Just more figure drawing from YouTube, I’m really rusty.

I’m very rusty with my figure drawing so I’m using YouTube to get back up to speed.

We are back home after almost a full month living in Seattle, it’s good to start getting back into normal habits.
