I_am_X Nothing to fear, other than fear itself.
Lately I have been sketching away, mostly drills with a new technique I found useful for drawing large circles or lines. I just picked up both learning to draw cartoon style (hard to explain), and also using negative+positive spaces to draw faces. Hopefully I will be able to learn to see shapes of human faces by practicing Pos/Neg spaces.
Basically, I want to be able to see shapes. :P
Not sure how successful I will be copying a reference photo of another person, but I am willing to give it a go. After all, I read around that drawing from life is the best way to learn.
