Q & A Day -- What's Your Most Challenging Part Of The Body To Draw? Ask Me For Help

Warm up sketching a body part that you're relatively confident in...
Then choose a challenge. Don't try to render the details. Try to list to distill it down to a bare few essential elements. And do and redo that distilling process over several sketches...
Again, each sketch is not trying to add more. It's trying to add clarity to those very few choices.
Our job as artists is to show clarity for folks who often have very little of it in their lives.
At each stage of our drawing (or painting) do the marks I've made to this point ring true?
Or am I depending on the rendering to explain what they can't.
If you can learn to work SIMPLY, BUT CHARACTERISTICALLY to capture the truth BEFORE the rendering, your work will grow by the mile!
Have fun!
