do you think you'd have difficulty drawing this lip flipped right? i noticed us right handed people draw this angle easily. i personally have a hard time drawing a "flip" image of this.
Hmm, not really. I think I have quite a few lips and eyes here that I draw from either angle. In fact, I think I prefer the other angle, to be honest. But then again, I've been drawing nearly nothing but faces every night for a year - I've been practicing! :D
It's really true. We both have talent, but it gets rusty like anything left unused. That's why I have this blog - I have to say, it's really helped. I'm amazed at how different my approach to drawing is now from what it was a year ago. And compared to a few years before that, too. I just hope that, to the outsider whose seen my work before, it's just as good or hopefully improved.
I pulled out some old drawings last night, and there are some things that I just don't do anymore as easily (comics bodies, for one; fashion illustrations too) but I think my faces are much more 'realized' than ever before - I know where certain planes go, where certain curves lie. It's weird.
yup. rusty is the right word. i think i have this all-or-nothing mentallity that isnt good sometimes. like, i dont draw when the conditions arent perfect. so i end up not drawing at all. this year i will have to learn to adjust and adapt.
by the way, i found some more of your old letters to me, with drawings from when you were still working in that mannequin store. :-) and my rachel/phoenix comic book project from FA. remember that issue by john romita jr. which i hated so i re-drew the whole thing?
Aaah! You need to scan that sucker and send it! I still have the two pages I redrew of Ray versus the Selene (in her bikini - ha!). I also found some of your old drawings, some of our FA teachers as caricatures. Damn, I can't remember any of their names. Who was our printmaking prof again? The big, gay one with the moustache? He was fun. Such a terror for the rest of the class, haha...!
Nonon Padilla! i saw him several times when i used to watch plays at Cultural Center. he's one of their artistic directors. our other teachers were Dandan (the preggy lady who smoked alot-sculpture), Chabet (your favorite! he holds exhibits here in the galleries of our ofc bldg)Joey something (Photography). And Araceli Dans-Lee but i dont know why i know that name.
Joey Tañedo - remember? My ersatz husband? We were in our FA101 (Chabet's actually) classroom, Joey, Tessa and I, when I announced, "I'm leaving." To which he replied, "You're leaving me?" So I shot back, "Yes, and I'm taking the children with me!"
Dans-Lee was our typography teacher. Lord, I was so bad at hand-drawing letterforms. If she could only see me now - who the hell needs to hand draw anything when you have computers and bezier curves?!!?
Speaking of which, I'm working on bezier curves now, so I can't post any of my drawings tonight. They now belong to my client. Pfagh.
at the risk of sounding illiterate, what's bezier curves? i certainly know the term but dont know what it means.
and yes, i do remember that witty banter with tanedo! ahahahaha! i miss that!
and who was that thesis panelist who was so mad at our "bawal ang dilaw" thesis? Garalde? obviously he pees on walls. btw, i kept those posters but i can't seem to find where i placed them!!!
Oh, they're those tools you use to draw with in Illustrator when doing shapes. I seldom use them for drawing, but for th project Im doing, its all very stark and strong lines, so it's best I do some curves!

sigh you're right. practice makes consistent.
