Figure drawing still draws my interest. One of my big hang ups is making the head to skinny. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

Zentangle and figure drawing
This week I did another zentangle mandala. I cut a snowflake from tissue paper, traced it with a pencil and then connected points with my ink pen. This approach means that if I traced it a second time, I would most likely have a different design. I've used ink and colored pencil.

Love the "snowflake."
And that you join me in posting figure drawings. I laughed when I read about your skinny heads. Mine vary from too small to too big!
I really like your zentangles. Before discovering your blog, I never found zentangles that really interested me.
I have a BFA in drawing, used to do figure drawing 6 hours a week and had tons and tons of practice... and had head issues. It never gets easy. Easier, but not easy.
Thanks, Shirley and Jenna. At least I know that I'm not alone in struggling to get the proportions right.
While I have certainly not mastered drawing the figure (hands and feet and heads--aaack!) I found Betty Edward's advice in Drawing on the Right Side of the brain helpful and did get better when I followed it.
Heads & faces are the hardest thing to draw so don't be discouraged.
I've bookmarked you too, I agree with your comment about EDM :(
