Coach had to work today. No school holiday… boo! In fact, they don’t have many holidays at all in this district. Thanksgiving, Christmas Break, Spring Break… That’s it… pft.
So, since my hands seem to be working at about 1/2 capacity (and I’m awake which is sorta important), I spent the day sketching…. I did another EDM the other day but have been too lazy to scan & post it… EDM #3 is sketching a bag.
This afternoon I opened up one of my sketching books – Pencil Sketch Drawing Lessons, Learning To Sketch With Expression and Power. It was one of those free e-books… I started at the beginning with basic human figure drawing. Here are my first two attempts…
Sherri Abendroth....
I'm a gypsy, romantic, music-lover, book-lover, creator, mother, daughter, lover, friend. I have lived in many places and had many experiences both good and bad. I love knowledge....learning new things and teaching others. I believe in a higher power...for each of us that may be something different but for those of us who believe, it's all the same. It doesn't matter what you call your maker or that high power...the most important thing is to believe - and that believing makes you a better person. I do my best to fill my world with loving kindness and compassion. And now I'm learning to live with multiple sclerosis...
Oh, I like, I like.
Excellent! The figures are especially powerful.
thank you! it was fun to draw them
Great sketches!! Self-portraits??
Oh Muff! I’m laughing so hard right now! That most certainly isn’t even close to me… although I wish it were haha I’m much more rubenesque than the sketch… such is life…. now the man figure could be Coach
Very nice. This is where I should say that if i drew a bag it would look like a pile of . . .. of my people well aliens? LOL you are talented my friend!
thanks! i’ve been practicing and my pencils are getting down to nubs lol
Good work! Even going for human body that is so difficult!
i have such a difficult time drawing people… this is a good exercise for me… thanks for stopping by!
Nice form on your figure drawings.
thank you Mary… I’m working hard over here LOL
Your bag is great as are the figure sketches. Don’t you love those free e classes?? Have a lovely day.
i love the free e-classes & books! i can’t afford to take “real” classes so these are a great alternative… and they allow me to retain my hermit status LOL
Love the bag – and then got blown away by the grace and movement in those sketches. Thank you.
wow! thank you EC! that’s the most incredible compliment…
Your words are so powerful and so are these beautiful sketches!
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words… and thank you for stopping by my site!
