So this one was struggle city for me in the beginning haha. Before even starting the first part of this long pose, it took me two whole days to push past the mental barrier (or fear of failing if you will) to even commit charcoal to paper. I can say I'm happy with what I've been able to achieve here, though the part of my drawing that bothers me the most is the undersized outstretched left foot. As Patrick mentions in a later lesson "there's nothing more insecure in a drawing than small feet" haha, and it shows here so watch out for that. I've started taking progress photos along the way so I can document the stages of the drawing, here I'll include the very first rough alongside the finished states. This is one of the difficult points I'm finding in my "artistic journey", how to visualise from the "ugly", rough stage of the beginning to (hopefully) coming to an end that will be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer. Once again great exercise here, challenging in more ways than one!
LESSON NOTES

This time, we'll be looking at interlocking shapes and discussing how to work through the many puzzles we'll encounter while drawing. We'll also revisit the head using what we've learned so far. 

You can expect to learn about: 

  • Tough angles head up, ears down
  • Moonlight in charcoal
  • The three shadows
  • Arm and hand structure
  • Fingers
  • The Frazetta head
  • Placing paper without smudging

here is my finished work. I kind of get lost not knowing when it’s done or when I should keep rendering or what steps to take but I will definitely revisit this lesson so much advice!
