I like to draw heads and portraits. I can focus on my favorite part of drawing people: facial expressions. Admittedly I don’t usually draw realistic stuff… like, anything. I focus more on cartoony expressions, because those can strech and don’t have to make a whole lot of sense.
Learning realistic anatomy is really, really important though. If I had a time machine, I’d go back and poke the hell out of my preteen self to start drawing more from life. Now I have to go back and unlearn some pretty bad habits.
I haven’t taken Drawing III yet, which is where I will have an opportunity to practice drawing nudes. This is why I’m grateful for websites like Pose Maniacs. This website features an app that will randomly pull a 3D human figure pose from hundreds of options. You can set a time limit for quick sketching, or you can choose to draw without a timer.
Under the cut are some drawings I made from there.
