01/05 - Startling Saturday!

Ok follow-up how did you learn to draw? Or was it a 'natural talent'/good eye/practice situation?

It's really impressive!

I'm planning on going through the exercises here and I have a random thrift store drawing book to poke into as well

Also you might want to look into James Gurney - he paints in a lot of different styles and literally wrote the book on painting light - I've been a fan of him since I was a kid (Dinotopia books!)

EDIT: by styles I didn't mean styles I meant... watercolor/gouache/etc .... my painting lingo is not the best

Yeah, the drawing thing was pretty much just natural talent and an overworked eye for detail. My grandfather was a machinist and inventor. So, he had to draw a lot of plans and be creative. He also could draw old school cartoons as a hobby. My mom could also "doodle" cartoons. When I was very young, I saw what they did and copied it. After that, by about 4 or 5, I was trying to represent things as realistically as possible, in my childhood art. Then I had the same school art classes as most kids of my era. The only difference is I did it at home a lot, and I worked mostly in black and white or pencil, which forces you to be accurate because you can't hide behind colour. I've read the odd book or two in high school but, rarely picked up anything creative since, until this last year. So, yeah. Just luck with the drawing. Painting is a different animal but, I'm pretty good at recreating an image.

Thanks again.

EDIT But, you can be a great painter without being able to draw very well.

My voice teacher turned me on to her... absolutely amazing (but I get warned that somehow she still makes all those amazing sounds with weird jaw tensions haha)

Just to compare and contrast styles... here's Joyce DiDonato singing the same piece (hers is much more ornamented)
