Hi!
I'm so glad you joined me today. Some people think that you can only be self-confident if you can do something the right way every time. But think about any sport that you watch. These people don't always get it right. They have a bad play, stumble, miss their goal, and yet they don't give up. They go right back to the task. That is how you can approach making art.
In this lesson I am demonstrating a practice that can help you use the big movements we need to draw. Tracing may seem like a strange practice, but I've seen it help many who fear making bold marks, big marks, and working quickly and smoothly. Here I point out how timid marks can actually make drawing harder. Have you ever tried to ride a bike slowly? It's much harder than riding the bike with some speed. These are just ways to explain how drawing is better with a little self-confidence. Tracing around the shapes of photographs this week will create muscle memory so that you feel better about making swift, sure lines!
Enjoy Drawing!
