Objects in front
Anatomy
I don't try to show off with my drawings. I am humble in front of masters.
I am doing this blog post to apprise my blog readers as to what I am currently doing.
These two practices shall continue for 6 months or more. Till I get great mastery.
When I say I want to draw objects in front, I am talking of Micro level things.
I am talking of Disney level thoughts. David Finch level thoughts.
But at the same time I am not talking of hyper-realistic drawings. I mean line drawings only.
I have an advantage in cosine hatching. I presume I have an advantage in proportions because of golden ratio expressions.
I shall be using only graphite pencils only.
I presently think that I should concentrate on my pencil to do the talking. Meaning to draw objects that are in front of me. I intend to do this till I achieve professionalism in this. About 3 months.
I shall then extend this actual object drawing to drawing from imagination. After 3 months.
I have changed my plans because things were getting muddled in my head. I told myself let my pencil do the talking first. Let me master to professional level objects in front. Then proceed further.
I have got into the drawing fever of drawing objects in front.
I drew this.
I love my Nataraj pencils. I love my A4 paper notebook.
I felt like drawing an object in front of me.
We have a statue of Shirdi Sai Baba.
I drew Shirdi Sai Baba in Clip Studio Paint.
First statement
My funny cartoons shall be well balanced artwork with to the point joke.
Second statement
My portraits/caricatures shall have great resemblance with well shaded colors, with shadows and with light highlights all working together to give a perfect portraiture/caricature.
Third statement
My comic drawing will have great 3d effect with shadows, shadings, highlights. They shall also have great textures from now onwards if possible.
These are my guiding statements and I shall be working towards these.
I want to be a very great artist like Leonardo DaVinci and I shall reach there, one day. 😄😄😄

"There goes the man that I was talking about. He always keeps a newspaper in front covering his face when he walks. He probably has taken loans from his neighbours and friends. And he covers his face to hide it from his lenders. What other better reason could be there as to why he covers his face with a newspaper ?"
