How I felt

One conclusion I made this week => I won’t be able to avoid anatomy if I want to draw good quality figure drawings. I have been trying to convince myself that I don’t need it, that there are so many simpler methods out there to draw human bodies. But I feel like I will have to go through it someday anyway, this initial learning (painful?) phase will give me solid basis that will save time and confusion in the future. Shortcuts are never a good idea when you learn a new skill… The most important thing you need is foundations.

There is a huge amount of knowledge to absorb, and it will undoubtedly take months to learn all the body parts, without practice included. So I need to keep in mind that this a long term learning, that patience is needed, and most importantly, take breaks a balance with other exercises to keep it fun.
