A human figure has almost everything you need for studying form, value, and shading.
Soft planes, hard edges, reflected light, compression, rhythm — all in one living form.
Especially the female body.
I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
Pippa keeps suggesting that I let go of detail in the face to focus on pose and anatomy.
I have to admit: the subject has to pull my hand.
If a face does not make me want to draw, the practice loses its spark.
This project is not just about discipline. It is also about keeping the joy of drawing alive.
