Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

So I dropped in again at the tail end of a figure drawing workshop.  I came in time to draw the last pose, a 25-minute one.  Unfortunately, on a kind of “off” day and without any warmup, it just really went badly.  I was doing it as a head drawing and it just wasn’t working.  So after battling it for quite a while, I finally gave up and used the last couple of minutes to do this instead.  This is nothing great, but the difference between it and the other is vast, believe me.  The other was so repellent I actually had to throw it away — breaking a rule I had kind of set for myself.

So far in this project, I’ve kept everything I’ve drawn, even if I didn’t like it and it didn’t end up as the post for that day.  I wanted to be able to go back and track progress using all my drawings.  But when I looked again later at the botched head drawing, I was sure I never wanted to see it again.  And now you too can be thankful that you’ll never be plagued with its horror!  (Now if only that were the case for the May 22 entry!)
