The only way to get good at anything is to keep at it and practice. I know that’s stating the bleedin’ obvious but so many people don’t seem to get it.
Here are some of the life drawings I did last week. I did these four, which are a bit naff and one I was pleased with (posted last week). The point is that I had to keep at it to get a decent one. There’s no use sitting around moaning about not being able to draw if people are not willing to put in the time and effort to practice. Oooh I sound like a schoolmarm LOL 😀


You are so right, practice, practice, practice… that’s why I write, write, write!
I think it’s true for all creative activity 🙂
Inspiration, really is a tiny seed which needs a lot of tender care and sometimes a long time to germinate and grow into anything very much!
It may be obvious but it is so true! Keep at it indeed!
Thanks for your beautiful drawings, it’s because of all those previous and continuous hours of practice that they are so good.
Thank you 🙂
damn right! Draw until you can’t see anymore and the drink tea and draw again…
ah tea mmmmmmm you’re so right. Stop for a cuppa and then back into the fray 🙂
These look great! I’ve really been enjoying your Life Drawing blog posts as I am currently doing life drawing myself in college! These are awesome! 😀
Thank you. Glad you’re doing life drawing, some art colleges don’t do it anymore 😦
That’s a shame. The art college I go to are very pro-life drawing! No matter what you do–illustration, graphics, animation– there’s a life drawing module included into the schedule/curriculum
That’s so good to hear 🙂
