Finding the planes and trying to learn to privilege things like form over lighting or value. The Old masters do this, great figure drawers do this in their drawing. Degas, Sargent, Cornwell, you name them, they put emphasis on some things and reduced it or eliminated it to make the drawing work beyond a mere copying what they see.Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-21980637277542842382008-10-09T09:41:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:41:00.000-04:00Dave, yes, you are so right, Scott's class is real...Dave, yes, you are so right, Scott's class is really about thinking and the language of drawing.Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-60080961874755219952008-10-09T09:40:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:40:00.000-04:00pamyla, Thanks.pamyla, Thanks.Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-46418255636638200152008-10-09T09:39:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:39:00.000-04:00Thanks Mike, who was your drawing teacher there?Thanks Mike, who was your drawing teacher there?Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-37450610069106369852008-10-09T09:05:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:05:00.000-04:00The skeleton drawign project is fascinating.

His class is less about drawing than it is about thought. I really liked that project as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-185275837620919002008-10-09T05:17:00.000-04:002008-10-09T05:17:00.000-04:00Awesome drawings, I like your style!Awesome drawings, I like your style!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956111685381650801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-56091226723441572222008-10-08T22:11:00.000-04:002008-10-08T22:11:00.000-04:00Awesome!
