I haven’t drawn in this loose style very much before, but my friend inspired me to try. She said she draws basic shapes (triangles, squares) and then does shading, rather than drawing specific things like body parts. I did much more scribbling.

What do you think? Anything you like or dislike about my drawings? I’d love to hear :D

    As much as I don’t-like the mess-of-fallen-hairs look that that is,

    it is important to intentionally explore every different drawing-style one can, in order to get one’s unconscious-mind & one’s right-brain to try doing meanings that way, to discover what means what, in the parts of one’s mind that words-mind never reaches…

    What Kim Petras is doing seems related to this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Picture-This-How-Pictures-Work/dp/1452151997/

    which is a book I recommend, but for intermediate understanding-visual-arts students, Ian Roberts’s books you MUST read…

    his book on composition has no equal, anywhere.

    I don’t care which visual-arts one is in, please, for the love of your potential, read Ian Roberts’ book on Composition.

    https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Composition-Techniques-Principles-Dramatically/dp/1581809247/

    This book also is fundamental, beginners & intermediates ought read the thing:

    In doing art, I’m trash ( because I study dozens of subjects, instead of demonstrating 1 of 'em ), instead of practicing ),

    but the phase-change when this-life switches from amassing-knowledge & grinding-on health-problems to being health-uncrippled & honestly doing stuff, is coming soon.

    This year, I hope.

    Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?
