Warm-up: Smiley faces
I introduce you to the basic technique, and show you a few tips and tricks.
You can get far with mastering these faces. Choose a version you like best, and make it your signature figure!
There are two mistakes that I often see in my classes:
- Slow down. Don't try to "get it over with" and rush to the next thing (where to?) Give some love to your drawings! And then some more. Visit them every day if you can. It is like meditation and will probably improve your life quality. Plus you'll get some nice drawings out of it.
- Don't draw the neck too thin!
