Fundamentals

So I've been drawing for years, I've just graduated from Art School, and I've only just now decided to focus heavily on "fundamentals". So I'm going to partake in John K.'s $100,000 animation drawing course. (har har) And since it's never a good idea to have only one "teacher" I'm supplementing it with Andrew Loomis' "Figure Drawing for all its Worth". So these pictures that follow are the results of about 2 days study. (Tuesday and Friday).





Some thoughts on the process:

I'm skeptical as to how much use copying straight out of a book is. Beside simply ingraining ideas of proper construction into the process of drawing. It seems to me there is a danger here: the inability to create for yourself. That by copying straight from a book, you become "stuck" doing the same drawing over and over. Who knows.
