I am mostly using charcoal pencils in these quick sketches ( once in a while - i used compressed and/or vine charcoal). if you are heading to the academy of art in sf - yes you will learn and acquire tools/skills that enable you to draw the human form - but mostly - you need to put in the time!! I am now in my 2nd year at the academy and go to as many workshops as possible to practice and develop.. even in the summer, drawing every single day is the best ( not that I have kept that plan up this summer but I have still worked hard at it!) - I have a long way to go but from my first drawings at school until now.. there is no comparison!The Art of Kevin Wuestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603025276482625300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396347641842151005.post-75229889829011836292008-08-26T08:18:00.000-07:002008-08-26T08:18:00.000-07:00I would love to know how you get even some of the ...I would love to know how you get even some of the faces in in three to five minutes!
