Learning to Draw at Age 54 - Update 1 - The Hand
September 30th, 2008
I’m so excited. Seems I can draw. Who would have guessed. I’ve just completed the third class last night, where we learned some new techniques about edges and light. Through the first three classes there has been a lot of emphasis on the Right Brain and Left Brain and we have been practicing ways to go Right Brain (R-Mode).
Its starting to pay off. I drew the picture of the hand last night in about 1.25 hours. Unfortually I don’t have my before hand image yet. The instructor has all the preliminary drawings. As soon as I can I will scan and post all the images that I’ve drawn myself so you can see the progress. I’ll let this one speak for itself.

Nice! I just picked up Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (that’s what I get for going to the bookstore and reading Twitter at the same time.)

Its critical that you do all the exercises in the book in the order that they are listed. Also the taking mental notes and writing down feelings about the exercises are also necessary. The kit at https://xdrawright.merchantquest.net/cgi-bin/cart/view_item/c=7/ also is needed as well as about $10 or $20 worth of pencils etc. Good luck. Let us know how it works.
