Drawing from reference + Gesture drawing

12/23/23 - 1/14/24 Transcript from the video: Hey guys. It’s been a crazy two and a half weeks. But I’ll save you the details. A while back I decided to follow the year long drawing plan created by artist Marc Brunet here on YouTube. The assignment for January is to draw 30+ gestures, practice one point perspective, and draw some art you like from reference. So far I think I’ve drawn like 6 gestures and practiced one point perspective a few times. And today I’ll be drawing this still from a Ghibli movie. It’s kinda fitting because it was a Ghibli movie that inspired me to start drawing. I think it was My Neighbor Totoro. But I recently saw Boy and The Heron and I’ll recommend that movie to anyone. It might be my new favorite. Something I’m really trying to get better at is forming solid habits. For a long time I’ve been trying to form the habit of getting up really early so that I can have time to do the things I need to do. I love being up while it’s still dark and no one else is awake. I use that time to pray while it’s quiet and then draw for an hour or so. But I still find myself hitting snooze on my alarm some mornings. To have that time I have to fight for it. And habits take months to settle in… I’m curious to know what habits you have or what habits you struggle to maintain. And how you go about maintaining them. Let me know in the comments! I love the engagement!
