Javi Drawing #6

 Trump Caricature. 

Digital Drawing in Procreate on iPad. From CWeyant cartoon in Boston Globe.

I'm not unhappy with this one. If this is as bad as it gets, then that's good. 

I'd like to be able to draw a Trump caricature for meme making over the next 4 years.

Javi Drawing Day 5

Day 5 Of Javi Drawing exercises. A very crude drawing of Iron Man.

I've always liked this pose of Iron Man.

This is a poor drawing, but I learned some things from doing it.

As I wrote in the notes underneath, I like the proportions and a bit of feeling the expression of the character.

I'm beginning to realize that this stage of "learning to draw" is not simply about learning to "draw". It is also about learning to "see". To become sensitive to the subtleties of the angle of the head, and the shape of the torso. With experience I think that I will be able to more quickly recognize these attributes of a scene, and thus be able to try and draw them accurately.

Learning.
