Sketch-A-Day 16


Several years ago (at least four or five) I purchased a fantastic set of DVD's. The Structure of Man by Riven Phoenix. The production isn't high tech - but the instruction is SERIOUS.  If you go through and do the lessons, learn the formulas (it's all about formulas!) - you will be able to draw the human figure from the bones out.  Granted they are visual formulas about proportion and placement - not math and numbers.

Me? The way my life is - I'm still on lesson 10. There are over 100. I'm a little stuck here on the complexity of this piece. I need to buckle down and just do it over and over. In a short enough time that I don't forget everything I did last time.

Time To Stop Procrastinating

I'm actually quite productive when I'm procrastinating. I get everything done except the thing I really should be working on. This week I need to work really hard on my second offering for Quilt University. This one, Screen Printing, isn't quite as easy to translate into an on-line class.

So instead of working on that necessary thing last week I doodled some more.

And read some blogs. And made my way through another couple anatomy lessons from "The Structure of Man."
