"The impact of texture on monochrome"
The texture of the support has a major influence on the type and impact of marks you make when working with one colour.

#VilppuDrawingManual - Indirect Lighting
This is not new to me, i did same exercises way back in #TheNaturalWayToDraw There it was called modeling by light, like a sculptor. Still splitting lighting into three categories is new. Today it is garbage. Very bad session. Time wasted.
#FunWithAPencil - The Dress and the Suit
Doing these isnt nowhere near the difficulty of figures. Probably because i already have some minor drapery training from #TheNaturalWayToDraw I think women and gays have unfair advantage in fashion knowledge though.
#FramedPerspective - Clothing the Characters
Is nudity bothering you? Are your customers Americans (booba bad, murder good)? Just put some clothes on your figures. Easy. I find it funny how this book explained drapery better and on fewer pages than #TheNaturalWayToDraw
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - An Approach to the Use of Color
The end. I have build love-hate relationship with this book. The grind is insane and seems pointless at times. But there is hidden wisdom and merit in it to be found. Godspeed Nicolaides, you didn't fail me after all!
GESTURE
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Subjective Study
What is the difference between drawing / painting and art? According to Nicolaides it's when you incorporate part of yourself into the canvas and let your subconsciousness to draw while keeping it in balance with your conscious effort.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Predominating Shape
I have only read so far 3 art books but i already noticed a trend: towards the end the books always get silly in one way or another. Now it is either trying to make me learn simplification or "modern" art style. Both are impossible!
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Gesture drawing in Oil
Either my observation skill went up or my ability to draw went lower. Or i just struggle intensely in "new" medium and nothing comes out the way i want it to be. Fuck it all.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Sustained Study in Oil Color
So according to the book the begs in oil should use as dry paint as possible to prevent the paint merging uncontrollably. Sadly in Rebelle even with maximum oil slider the colors still refuse to blend and mix. Lmao.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Study of the Muscles
Yeah... this is out of my ability and even when i am ogling the anatomy book for sculptors i am so not sure what am i even doing. I learned something but lmao this cannot help me in drawing people in my current drawing skill level.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Study from Reproductions
Okay so today i learned two things: 1) i should try to render cube and ball before going for full piece in new medium. 2) i should only try to copy A PIECE of the artwork, its no good when you run out of patience in middle. Ugh
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Straight and Curved Lines
Horrible. Today wasnt my day... at all. I missed yesterday and this is the punishment for not drawing. To hell with it all.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Analysis through Design
So the grand idea is that you can view reality only through comparing objects. And atoms of drawing are lines. Curved or straight? Only next chapters can tell what is this about. And i cant really utilize brown color in my drawings.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Foot, The Eye, The Ear
The feet is easily the most complex obscure over-designed overburdened piece of anatomy in human body. So many bones, so atypical shapes. Ear is just test of your ability to properly draw forms. And i LOVE eyes. They show you soul
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Shoulder Girdle, Leg and Knee
I wont lie, i suffer a lot doing these and spend outrageous time on it despite it looking like just few lines. And its plus minus very wrong. But i learned something from it. No idea if it will ever be relevant for drawing.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Hand and Arm
Trying to draw bones properly fitted into actual flesh with correctly applied foreshortening exposes my lack of any higher skill and makes me feel like the BEG fraud that i am. Did you know there are TWO bones in your arm and they can cross?
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Drapery in Black and White
Feel the form, feeeeeeel the form. Lmao.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - Gesture in Black and White
Drawing gestures with two colors is confusing. With modelling it isnt confusing but it feels like i am missing the feeling the form. Welp.
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Sustained Study in Crayon
First of all why are so many different drawing tools called crayon? The plastic crayons are nothing like the crontΓ© ones made from charcoal. Secondly this is same stuff as normal study but you have colored paper and white color
#TheNaturalWayToDraw - The Long Composition
I decided to speedrun to the end of this book. This has going on for too fucking long. Yes i see the value behind the grind the book orders you to do and how its guiding you to work as the old master did. I reached my limits on gesture!
