I Love You, But I'll Cut You

Here's a warm-down from yesterday. :)

When I took life drawing at San Diego Community College in '97 my instructor, Nancy L. asked me "Sean, what do you want from this class?" I told her, "Nancy, I wanna be able to draw comic books, but I need to learn how to draw legs. I don't wanna stop at the pelvis anymore." Nancy said "Ok, let's see what you can do."

As I started she immediately stopped me, and said, "Sean, ok, I see what's going on here. You're trying to draw what you think you know, not what you see. You can't draw something you don't know how to."

Nancy changed my life forever drawing people. She taught me the shortcuts to looking at the human form, and I blame her in a loving way for showing me how to draw legs because I never wanted to stop, and I still don't! HAHAHAHA

Nancy let me be me as an artist, and guided me to having the confidence in my choice. I wish there were more Nancies in this world!

She gave me hope.

Hope y'all digs!

Warm-downs 1

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.....

Warm-ups to start the day and then warm-downs to end the day. Genius I tells ya! GENIUS! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*Ahem* Right. But yeah, this is warm-down 1, and Imma be doing these and warm-ups more often. It's a good way to draw from life and photos to replenish the ol' mental library. In this case to put in the ol' noggin what's not there yet, which is how to draw women! :)

When I was in high school, my art teacher Linda L. told me not to look at things when I drew because it was cheating. So for years I would draw from my head, and it took me a little longer to know what I was drawing. I'm telling you this in case someone gives you the same bogus advice, or gives you a hard time about it. Drawing from life and photos is a legit way to build your mental library, so you can draw what you know from your head, when you're ready. :)

Hope y'all digs!
