Buddha Head Modelled Drawing - 11 November 2011 Ink on Paper 35.5cm x 43cm (14" x 17") |
I have posted quite a few modelled drawings in ink because I am enjoying the exercise.
Before starting the Natural Way to Draw, I would have approached this drawing in a completely different way. I would have spent ages measuring relative dimensions and angles. Starting with a scribble of about the right shape and size and gradually building up the surfaces is a much more enjoyable experience.
I cheated a bit by marking out the approximate positions of nose and eyes before I spent too much time scribbling. I don’t feel too guilty because who wants to spend 3 hours on a drawing that looks like something from the Chamber of Horrors?
