It’s been a few days, but I finally got myself a drawing tablet, so I’ve been messing around with it a little.

Today, I did a short study on 1pt and 2pt perspective.

Drawing on a tablet is much easier, especially for things like this. I would like to try drawing bodies in perspective soon.

I spent today working on hands! I figured as I have less time today, I’d work on something a bit more focused.

I’m not completely pleased with these, but breaking them down into shapes really helped me visualise how they come together.

I’ve seen a few other ways to do these that I might try out…

Today I worked on the “Linear Block-in” exercise from ctrl+paint.

Looking at some rather complex objects, and turning them into a simple contour is quite tricky, but I think I managed to do ok here.

Very happy with how my hand turned out, but my feet definitely need improvement.

Today, I started by following the ctrl+paint “Traditional Drawing” guide.

And where do all great artists start? With boxes! (Probably). Visual measuring is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I think I did an ok job here.

I follow it up by drawing some spoons - quite happy!

Hi there, this is me.

This is where I’m going to share the exercises I do to learn to draw, and the scribbles I complete along the way.

It’s been 7 years since I left school and stopped drawing - today, I wanted to change that.
