And I've discovered a lot during days, 4 to 6...
Day 4
~ eccentric, to add interest
Day 5
~ feeling boxed in, with male options
Day 6
~ noticing a pattern for spirals, favouring one gender
I discovered the difference between drawing men and women, was challenging in the marks made. Women were easier to incorporate spirals, because of their long hair, curvaceous figures, interesting accessories and headpieces. The spirals seemed to be an afterthought, with men, however. More of a background accessory, than part of their form, or what they were wearing. It felt more disconnected.
I'll attempt to address that on day 7, however, I can see myself exploring beyond the 7 day challenge. It ends tomorrow, and I'll reveal what I learned throughout this particular, illustrative series.
You're right. Spirals aren't for men. I love your drawings though. Wish I could be so spontaneous with a pencil/pen :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev, I think I will attempt a few more guys, to see if I can find an edge I haven't exploited yet! I know there's got to be a way to make it work, I just haven't discovered it yet, lol.
