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.
As someone who is very much a beginner, I found it really helpful though I never finished it. At the very least it helped me figure out a lot of what I was doing wrong and get un-stuck in getting better.
