Drawing Skills

When people comment on how good I draw, usually after looking at my sketches, I always reply that it is a result of a TON, and I mean a ton, of practice. You don’t just instantly know how to draw. You evolve as an artist and never actually stop. I remember how I used to draw, hell I have an entire binder of past drawings. I like to look back and see just how far I’ve come. I went through a lot of trial and error. It’s always a struggle when you put pencil to paper, you are always editing what you put down until it’s just right. For the longest my heads were way too big and out of proportion. Then my legs were to short and stumpy. Then my legs were too long. They still are, as a matter of fact, but it’s getting better. As of now I’m trying to make them “thicker” than normal skinny ass models, but not to big to wear you notice. I actually have had fellow fashion design students say their legs need to be thinner, so I think I’m almost there lol. Of course some people think their waists are too small, but that’s what I want my clothes to emphasize, the waist, which happens to be the smallest part of the main body. Emphasizing the waist makes you look thinner, which is always a plus. ;)

I do have to mention that I’m not an artist. I’ve never claimed to be. I can sketch clothes but try to make me draw a dog and you’ll get what I could draw in the fifth grade. It might even be worse because that was probably the last time I drew a dog and it’s not like I can remember how I drew it. Oh and don’t even get me started on trying to draw a man. Ugh, it turns out looking like a woman is cross dressing. :( I absolutely suck at it. Boo. 

(I'll post a couple pictures showing just how I evolved and got better)
