Drawing Practice - Eyes
I love drawing and sadly neglected my practice over the last few years. I’m now trying to get into the swing of using my sketchbook for daily drawing practice. I want to improve my drawing all round but am going to begin with portraits and figures. Specifically I am starting with facial features. Now practising drawing eyes. Using either graphite or pen. I know, keep practising! I’m quite pleased with my progress so far, but I’m a very impatient person and need to see results quickly. I must learn to slow down and draw mindfully. I invested in the Bargue book to help me with my practice, as so many of my artist friends have recommended it. The book is a series of plates designed to teach students how to draw and was originally used in the 17th century ateliers. Now I’m not sure how exactly this is taught, but I figured if I worked my way through the plates then surely my drawing couldn’t help but improve. Anyway, practice makes...
