📝 One of My Favourite Drawing Exercises So Far

During this Week's Practice of the Basics and while working through Brent Eviston’s The Art & Science of Drawing on Skillshare, one exercise really stood out and honestly, it’s changed the way I look at curves and organic shapes.

It starts simply:

→ You draw a curve or organic shape.

→ Then, you break it down into its basic angles, the invisible structure behind the form.

→ Finally, you use those angles as a guide to redraw the curve more accurately and with more intention.

What I love about this is how it trains your eye to see more clearly, not just draw what you think you see. It’s a reminder that behind every complex shape is a series of simple angles and decisions.

This drill helps build both accuracy and confidence especially for someone like me, who’s going back to fundamentals and trying to build a solid foundation from the ground up.

If you’re an artist (beginner or experienced) looking to strengthen your understanding of form, I highly recommend checking out Brent Eviston’s courses on Skillshare. This one clicked with me in a way few exercises have, and I’ll definitely be carrying it into next week’s practice.

🎨 Curious what’s one exercise or concept that helped you improve your drawing the most?

🎨❤️ Lots of passion not enough SKILL?

What happens when you have more artistic passion than you do skill, craft, or experience? We talk about it while I analyze some of my figure drawing work.

I'm currently learning perspective from Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" book and it's so haard. However, this book is very informative and even though I struggle a little I highly recommend it, learned a ton

Join me in November for an #in-person #artclass covering #comics #illustration and #conceptualart above is an image of of a figure I drew as part of a free demo previewing what will be covered in class. In the #artdemo I use the #loomismethod of drawing to come up with a #fantasywarrior with no figurative reference. The purpose of the #artdemonstration is to showcase the power and utility of #drawingfundamentals of #shapelanguage #structure and #perspective I will be posting the full demo later today to my #youtube and also providing a link through the @accesscvu website. #fantasyart #fantasyartist #artinstructor #academicart #academicdrawing #andrewloomis #ateliermethod #fantasyartwork #fantasyartworld #fantasyarts #swordabdsorceryart #vermontartist #vermontart #vermontartists #burlingtonartist (at Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjnaLJXsrTk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I should focus more on line economy and each line accuracy and contour lines were wrong in the thigh part.
