Dynamisches Figurenzeichnen: Lerne, die Figur zu zeichnen

Very nice Tasha. You do nice work. Love the lady with the (??) sword? Light saber?

Wow Tasha! What beautiful drawings!! The page of 2 min gestures is just wonderful - this shows a great connection to your drawing process and I feel like the more you spent time with these short poses that you got more in tune with your observation and drawing. There are some fabulous studies in this one page. The 2 larger more finished drawings are also so beautifully observed!! I really love the seated figure, on the right, but I think in each drawing there is a great rhythm and variation in the line work and a commitment that is carried to the end, this is finished work, to me. My sense overall is that you've got a wonderful connection to the process of mark making and that your observation is excellent - the outer contours very sensitively observed. I would only caution around using uniform, circular cross contours too much - I can see in the last 2 drawings that it is effective in getting the sense of form and volume, but it be aware of how it can tend to be just a "one note" kind of line, and is not as acutely observed as your outer contour line. I hope this makes sense! I love your drawings altogether, it's so exciting to see your work :) thank you so much for sharing this, very inspiring!

Yes makes sense! Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I will keep at it. I started drawing at 44 and it changed my life.  I always had a slight cloud of depression and boredom that hung over me despite a full life and great career and when  I strarted learning how to draw my connection to myself and life changed in such a positive direction. I’m so grateful for all the wonderful teachers on Skillshare! I also really connect with your drawing style and approach.

Hi Tasha, I have a similar situation. I started drawing at 37. Before that, I couldn't draw even a flower. Nobody believes what I do now. And I'm also having much less depression since then. What a miracle - art!

This is so amazing to read!! Thank you Tasha for sharing that, and Oleana - thank youuuu for also commenting. This means everything for me to hear:  I truly to believe that the simple act of drawing - and of drawing in your own natural style - is totally empowering, transforming and yes, life changing!! I personally had a similar journey and i realized recently that drawing is truly when I am "myself"; it's through drawing that I can feel connected to the world. I'm so glad to hear this is the same, from you both. &lt;3 !

Watching Siobhan draw is mesmerizing and meditative. I didn’t have any charcoal but can’t wait to experiment with it.
