I got frustrated and impatient doing just eyes and mouths like in the above post.
For some reason when I measure, I seem to do worse.. I don’t think I am getting it yet.
I will give measuring another try after I get done with this pencil and charcoal drawing.
Maybe I need to put down a mark/line THEN measure, because when I measure then try to follow the measurement to determine where to put the line, I get confused and sit down and shake my head.
I’m starting to use rough lines better to block in the shape but it is still contour drawing essentially.
I don’t fucking know what to do!
Draw line, erase, draw line erase....oh something looks decent...get to an intercepting part..oh no, the proportions are off...erase, match up the shit that’s out of proportion, there we go.
Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat.
Measuring seems to be a way to create a grid at a distance and if I cannot tell half’s of an object compared to thirds or fifths, etc, by looking at the object and comparing, HOW THE FUCK CAN I MEASURE WITH A FUCKING KNITTING NEEDLE BY USING IT TO PORTION OUT THIRDS AND FIFTHS OF THE FUCKING NEEDLE/ PENCIL OR WHATEVER STRAIGHT TOOL IS SUPPOSED TO SIMPLIFY MEASURING??????????????????????????
But it’s cool, no big deal, I’m just gonna try again tomorrow night.
Anyway, here’s the contour drawing of a naked chick holding a card or something.
I finally got my fucking glasses FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! but I have to still fucking take them off and get fucking close to the object to see what’s up.
But it’s cool, I’m not mad.
I am seeing how muscles bones and shit fit into each other and how they effect the contours of the body.
