Facing some fears

 So many fears in the past year, time to tackle some idiotic ones. Drawing the figure, yikes! An online webinar with The London Drawing Group, involving a live model. 

Very absorbing, particularly the explanation about the kinesphere, which my brain kept seeing as the kinetisphere. It was intriguing to assign words to the poses after drawing them, and to use the concept of three spheres to map out the position of the body in space. My efforts below, all poses between 30 sec and 5 mins, charcoal and then pencil. Yet again, however messy charcoal is,  I much prefer it to pencil, however soft, for this type of quick drawing.

Where have I been?

 Drawing, painting a bit, mucking about with collage a bit, mostly here, https://www.instagram.com/stitchinscience/. Staying sane.

The immediacy of Instagram is fun, connecting with other creative people from many disciplines is easy........................but it is owned by Facebook......................but here is owned by Google. Choices to be made about how to use these media in the near future. ( This interface seems more intuitive and predictable than when I was last here).
