This is a graphite drawing I did of one of my Birkenstock sandals for the EDM (Every Day Matters) Challenge #1. I joined this group months ago and am finally getting started on the challenges!
I've been interested in figure drawing for a long time and decided it was time to do something about it. So, for three weeks now, I've been attending drop-in life self-guided drawing sessions held at an art store - Artists and Craftsmen - in the University District in Seattle.
The sessions are open to anyone . . . you bring your own art supplies, they provide the model and easels and coffee and cookies for the breaks. It all costs $10 a session.
The poses usually vary from one minute to 15 minutes. It is a pure delight . . you don't have time to think . . . you just draw or the pose is over, another has started . . . it's a wonderful way to loosen up and learn to 'see' and trust what you see. The point is to get the significant lines and proportions with quick gestures.
I love it . . . smiling.

Over 13 days, I worked on a drawing. I did this because I hadn't drawn much with my hands in a while--I missed that. At the end of each session I scanned the results and reflected on the process.
This is DAY 04
DON’T FEAR CORRECTIONS
It will be easy and tempting to throw down bold, heavy, certain lines in the beginning, but realize that unless you are sharpened by years of experience seeing without biases, errors will come.
Errors come in inconsistencies, proportion, angles, basic structure, etc.
Self awareness and humbleness is key here. You may have reached the limit of what you can do in this moment. That’s OK. Forgive yourself for not getting perfection (or just where you want to be) on the first try.
It’s important to be conscious of when it’s the right time to step away from your work.
Take a walk. Meditate. Speak with a friend about something completely different.
When you return, new layers of clarity will reveal themselves.
