[drawing every day 2024 post one one four]: lovebirds, redux

centaur 0

Drawn aaalmost completely from memory … I could see a blurry image of the previous day’s drawing through the previous sheet in my notebook … but this time, with construction lines to help guide me.

I think it turned out far better than the previous effort, even though elements of the previous drawing were more accurate to the original photograph.

You start off drawing what you think you see, then move to drawing what’s there. But at some point you should transition beyond that to drawing what will make the viewer see what you saw, which is not necessarily the same as replicating what a camera would have seen in the place of your two eyes.

Drawing every day, even when flying.
