Blind Sketch #6
Blind sketch #6
Noooo! the right arm fell of my Manikin as I went to draw it this morning. It has served us well and may it rest in peace.
One thing I would like to use this space to say, is I have been reading quite a few drawing blogs recently. Both people who are learning to draw and people giving out instruction. There seems to be an awful lot made of this blind sketching and as it reads, a lot of it seems pseudo science.
Reason I do it , as with any other warm up excercise is to loosen up the hand a bit before diving into a drawing and the other thing is trying to improve hand eye co-ordination and that’s it.
Some of these posts that go on 400 words about right hand side of the brain malarkey etc , just seems to be nonsense and making something more complex than It actually is. The sad thing is, I have read blog posts from people drawing that they are worried they are not engaging there right brains enough, I kid thee not.
Blind Sketching = Loosen up hand , improve eye hand co-ordination – thats it.
My two pence.
