Three Minute Takes versus Gestures
Flash in the Pan vs. Taking Measurement
Today, I quit teaching drawing and illustrating in fashion, next year, no more. I cant believe I’ve done this.
Though hopefully still get Color Theory in the fall…
Yesterday updated the beginning of my latest poem, smoothed out what was there already.
3 minutes
These I did in less than three minutes.
This NEXT one,
is a “starter” gesture drawing -- to figure out angles and basic proportions.
This drawing took ten minutes longer…
3 hours to 4 hours work,
I could make into a pure professional gesture, which express realism over style and are veddy clean.
But thats not what I want to do unless being paid for…
After this semester no more fashion drawings?
OMG.
I am going to let loose…. with painting nudes. That are stylized… whichever way they come up.
Cover my writing with bodies… etc.
I hope you keep color theory, too. I know the course was exciting for you, the cross section of students from across the curriculum, the energy and challenge. Good luck, Dusty! You’re going to be fine whatever you do.
