I just came across this post at the Animation Illustration Art blog. You can imagine how thrilled I was when the very books listed—considered to be the best to follow when trying to improve one's drawing ability—are the SAME books I am currently studying!
I'm feeling good right now!
Not to mention that I'm in the last two hours of Schedule 1 of the Nicolaides book.
I've learned to love doing gesture drawings but these ONE HOUR blind contours are painful! I'll be glad when I'm past that exercise or at least doing it for that length of time. Ten minutes, OK. One hour, not so OK.
Ultimately, I'm on track to improving my drawing and eventually returning to the production of my ideas.
