I keep trying to level up my drawing (weird and misshapen and also agonizingly slow), and so I’m starting again on this book. The transformations the author claims from their week-long workshops seem unreal and impossible-to-believe to me.
I remember attempting a portion of this book in high school, but I also remember quitting before getting half-way through. (And my “pre-training” drawings this time look distinctly untrained) At this point I think I’m putting off the next exercise because it just seems so big and long, and I have trouble focusing on drawing for a whole hour at a time.
I’m slowly working through that book. I do not think the science cited is necessarily rock solid, but I have found it helpful and fun for a way into creatively loosening up in general. Which I still struggle with.
