First sketch I've done in a long while. This one's from Andrew Loomis's excellent Figure Drawing for All It's Worth. What you try to do in these sketches is capture a sense of movement, a sense of improvisation. Accuracy is not as important, but of course I got caught up in that. You still have to get the proportions correct, and while this particular sketch is a vast improvement over the ones I'd done before, I still have a ways to go in gaining facility. But I'm pleased that every day brings new progress.
Tomorrow: First figure sketch done from the imagination. I'm rather enjoying this particular sketching project. Have a couple of paintings in the works, but it's so cold outside, it's hard to photograph them. Maybe tomorrow it will warm up.
