Discovering Drawing

?I draw every day - sometimes I draw for work, always for play, sometimes it turns into something else, sometimes it sucks, rocks, just is, sometimes I love what I do, sometimes I show it off and sometimes I tape a piece of paper over it, then do another drawing on top - so it is my secret, sometimes I wad it up and sometimes it has a life of its own, sometimes it is just a way to pass the time, sometimes it is spying, sometimes it is to catch a moment or just make a pretty picture to occupy my mind until I can figure out what I am supposed to do next, sometimes a drawing becomes a doll, a pot, a shirt/skirt/crazy hat, sometimes it feels like I am getting better at it, sometimes not, sometimes after it, I see differently.

My plan is do this until I die.?

As you see, drawing is a passion for me! As well as therapy, work and well... FUN! ?There is nothing as delightful as catching an exquisite moment on paper or being able to translate that creativity swimming around in your head into "reality." ?This class is designed to wake up those eyes and hands to the truth that you ARE already an artist and help you enjoy it! ?

You will learn the basics of sketching through Exercises, Sketch Notes, Loosen UPs, and Daily Draws. ?The Exercises will lead you through a "how to" ?of the drawing skill we are exploring in the chapter. ?The Sketch Notes are just like my doll class Sketch Notes, they will offer you ideas about the feeling, thinking, and writing around the subject. ?The Loosen Ups are fun little exercises that will make you laugh, loosen up and draw like a monkey, just kidding on that last one, but that?s the idea! and Finally, the Daily Draws are the drawings you can choose to do every day. ?Daily Drawing nurtures your innate talent, gently evolving it into the eye/hand/observation/soul skills that will shine more sweetly through all of your work! ?
