Hmmmmm I just got my sketchbook back from my figure drawing teacher. In her notes she said I should do more drawaings from reference rather than from life...
Isn't it better to draw from life rather than from reference? (i.e. photo)
She is a good teacher but this is a little confusing... every established/skilled artists I talk to would usually say draw from life.
.its a shock to me heh =/

...p.s. Jason if you happen to read this.... i see my title is still the same! didn't we have a deal???



p.s.s. wow my digital skills class is boring "this is how to open photoshop, this is how you use the paintbrush in photoshop, this is a macintosh computer, that is a mouse"
:yawns: :boring:

wow brother...smack her... kidding...

If you draw more from life you won't be as dependent on reference... I feel like I learn something new about the human body everytime I have drawing class.
