@PPd: \o/

new Nicolaides exercise type is:
Called "modelled drawing". Similar to the "weight" and "cross contour" exercises, combining the two by first quickly bulking in the masses but without darkening like before, just preparing a rough base, then cross contouring over it vertically and horizontally, applying more pressure (gets darker) where surface curves into depth(away from us) and less pressure where surface curves out of depth (towards us), while imagining to touch the model and feeling the volumes as in the cross contour exercise. I dub this the "pillow shading" exercise because of the similarity of the results to that frowned-upon shading technique... but it has its' use, builds a deeper understanding of surface curvature, thinking about modelling the figure with clay again.









some digital 60s face doodles outside of the Nicolaides schedule:

random thought:
Forcing the mind to ignore light and shadow for the "modelled drawing" exercise really causes one to analyze and think about surface curvatures, where it sinks in, where it rises, in relation to the core of the volume it's on.

@Ryumaru: When I draw from reference, I note down a filename or something so I can see it later. Those are frame numbers from the video I was using, not how many I've done. Excellent stuff yourself as always!

No Nicolaides today, just keeping the digital hand warm with a couple of 60s gestures trying different fat brushes for a change.
