I still believe in learning how to draw….although there are art schools nowadays that don't teach it.
Everybody who wants to understand how to give volume to an image, or depict the human body in two or three dimensions ( you can use clay) should try "life class"as a brain exercise.
Some days you come away satisfied with your output and sometimes you don't . It is the same as any other discipline, really. The important thing is that one keeps at it.
Well, I should take my own advice and get back to "life class". These are drawings from my "stash".
