Here's another FREE drawing lesson from me, your old pal JC. Today we're going to talk about Drawing FITNESS!
Your drawing ability will benefit from regular exercise, just like any other extreme sport. You hafta stay in shape, you know? Here's one I like to do - practice drawing something from memory whilst blind-folded with one arm tied behind your back.
Make sure to crouch with your feet shoulder distance apart; and if you stick your tongue out it really helps a lot. If it's your first time, consider wearing a helmet and elbow guards.
Challenge yourself! Don't be concerned with what your drawing looks like - it's the process that counts here. Trust me, Leonardo did this exercise all the time.
Drawing is fun, right? You're welcome!
You can make someone else smile by sharing.
My 6 year old is quite the artist and saw this and is now squatting on the driveway, blindfolded, with sidewalk chalk. Thanks. LOL
ReplyDeleteFortunately I fell sideways and didn't take my computer down with me, it was fun though.
ReplyDeletewait a minute.... this isn't how everyone draws all the time??? ok now I see, I might be doing something wrong here. yep I also use my non dominant hand, and a chopstick dipped in wasabi while as my medium. I was told this would make me a true artist. Have I been mislead? Or am I just gearing up tell me JC.
ReplyDeleteI get partial credit for sticking my tongue out, right?
ReplyDeleteI heard you are supposed to be naked and chew gum. hmmm
ReplyDeleteEvin - result!
ReplyDeletePeach - anyone who uses wasabi to paint is a true artist, blindfolded or not.
Marie - naked ok. Gum nope.
Just tried this--the result is disturbing. I think that I might be terribly mentally ill. Or maybe I just need a lot more practice.
ReplyDeleteBruce - You're not supposed to worry about what the drawing looks like - it's the process that counts here, not the result.
ReplyDeleteMy hemorrhoid doesn't like the squatting standing on a chair part. Maybe that's why my picture turned out so angry looking?
ReplyDeleteHandflapper - we might have to change your name to just plain old "Flapper".
