Practice, Practice, Practice

One day recently, I had the desire to draw a figure in action. During the struggle to get it right the thought occurred to me that I needed a little more practice. I spent the next few days and several pages in a sketchbook just working out figures in various poses and motions. The stick-figures were great for getting the basic form down without a lot of fuss over musculature. (That would be for another post.) It also makes for fast idea sketching. Practice may not make perfect but it helps make a lot better.

One-and-a-half pages of the half dozed spreads I worked on.
