Quick sketch of a moving target
I realized how behind I’ve been on the sketch part of this “sketchblog”. Before I forget my initial intention for this blog I should mention, more of a reminder to myself, that a big part of this was to throw raw ideas and sketches out there so that it’s more of a sketchbook and process oriented project of sorts. So here’s an old sketch to re-calibrate my thoughts and posts.

When I get stuck on longer poses and projects, it’s very easy to forget how helpful a sketch session can be. This was a nice pose, and it was great practice in trying to track anatomical landmarks as her pelvis mimicked the weight of a pendulum throwing her contrapposto to and fro…it was actually more funny than frustrating. This taught me that sometimes it’s futile; you just have to let go and give up on the pose corrections. Accept it as a challenge for one session. Like a wise friend once said, “After all, it’s life drawing. They’re going to move!”
