Draw What You See
I just started Danny Gregory's book The Creative License. I've never thought of myself as someone who can draw. Recently, I've really wanted to be able to draw so I bought his book. He says drawing is about seeing and practice. Last night I spent an hour or so drawing a mug and a diet coke can. It took several attempts to get the mug to look anything like the real one but in the end I'm pretty happy with it. The coke can was done for a challenge in A Year in the Life of an Art Journal. I'm amazed that my drawing looks like a diet coke can. Stretching is my word for 2013 and this is another big stretch for me.

ReplyDeleteThat's really cool, Boo!!! Awesome drawings (I love your mug - I assume it's showing that ghosty on your actual mug?! :))
ReplyDeleteOh wowwhee Boo! I'm not saying I'll be as good as you, but I think I may have to get this book myself and see what Danny can teach me! These are great! :0) Mo x
