I've been trying different approaches. Getting out of a comfort zone. Not easy. When I get stuck or lost on a creative journey, I always come back to life drawing. Once, a mentor suggested me to have the favorite area and the style. "If you try something different and get lost, you can always come back there and start again!" This mentree learned the importance of having confidence "in" work and "from" work.
For me, it's life drawing.
This 20 minutes work I started from the toes, as I wanted to put a whole body in a paper. Other members loved this most.(NOTE: I start drawing a human body from anywhere that interests me. I have no experience to "measure" a subject.)
BUT I liked this work most! (which one do you like more?)
5 minutes. Quick, quick!!
Later, I lay on the back on the floor to check the angle of the face from a chin. It impressed the model and members.
"She usually does it." One member teased at me.
"Oh, yeah. Hahahaha."
We had a good laugh. Nice! Mutual help and encoruagements are the beauty of group work.

We, female body's beauty, elegant softness, sensitiveness are wonderful. I thank for having the same in me.
Time setting is 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10, 15-20 minutes. Paper size A2.
My hands' movements, brush strokes and colour use directly tell my mood. I objectively get "Sadami is happy. Good! Go on!" even though I'm struggling right now.

So, life drawing is fundamental for me to draw any type or style of work. It enables me to draw people confidently, precisely and quickly. Also, life drawing gives wonderful inspirations to make caricatures and cartoons. Furthermore, group work brings joy and encouragements. "Chest off" and "Create it in joy" is so important. Never get isolated without friends. The most precious bonus is my confidence. Then, refreshed Sadami can challenge something new again.
Friends, have your own favorite area you can rely on! Like a harbour, it welcomes weary you and protects you in the stormy sea called "art." Like the deep root of a big tree, from it, you can challenge new things and reach at your goal and dreams. And have nice friends. We have different directions, yet help each other on the hard journey. Hope you can take a rest here in this blog and keep on your own journey.
With all my heart, I'd tell you,
Happy Painting!!

ReplyDeleteオーーー、大胆なポーズ！！！
モデルさん勇気あるーー。
こういうポーズみたことないぞーー。(最初のね）
ポーズは、モデルさんまかせなのそれとも、
こっちから、注文するの？
うらやましー。
やりたいわー。
この国では、絶対むりでしょうけど。
服着てるモデルでもいいから、やりたいわー。
そんなんやったら、家でやればいいわけかー。
でも、ちゃんとしたモデルさんだと、力はいりそうだわねー。
筋肉のつき方とか、
やはりみるのに、裸のほうがいいにきまってる。
それより、水彩クラブでやると、みんな邪念だらけで、
顔真っ赤で描けないかも。
Dear HaniHani,
Deleteううむ、あれは大胆と言うより、ただ、寝てたのよん。モデルさんまかせです。It's up to an artist how you handle it and make a drama.
やって下さい。筋肉, bonesそれが面白いのよお。どう付いててどう動くか。すごく不思議ナノだけど、私、だと全然その邪念が無いの。もう、嬉しくて、楽しくて興奮して、早く絵を描きたくて仕方ないの。その集中力と喜びは並ではありません。
Cheers, Sadami
Hi Sadami, your life drawings are awesome! I had a good laugh seeing you on the floor to look at the model! Such a great cartoon! :) Happy painting, Sadami!

That's a good reminder from you to go out of the comfort zone. I will try to do this more often. I think we stay safely where we are happy without thinking how we can evolve as artist....thank you teacher :)

Querida Sadami, me gustan tus dibujos, unos mas que otros, y estoy contigo en que es muy importante el dibujo del natural y el dibujo en grupo, las dos cosas nos enriquecen y nos hacen crecer. No puedo dibujar a tu lado, pero tu blog me compensa un poco de esa falta. Un abrazo.

Sadami, I too love life drawing. Sometimes it frustrates me, and yet I always love the time I spend at it. I agree that it "recharges" me. My favorite in this list of wonderful drawings is the womanly one. great perpective on her face (looking down). Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteHi, Celeste,
DeleteThank you very much for cheers all the time. I love looking at your life drawing. Your blog posts and work recharge me, too. Keep up wonderful work that shines through.
Cheers, Sadami
Your life drawings, as well as your others, appear so fresh and full of energy. That is consistent. It is hard to imagine working so fast and you have inspired me to revisit life drawing in my area.
ReplyDeleteDear Maria,
DeleteThank you. BTW, how long does/did it take to finish your pastel portait? I do not know well how other artists finish up life drawings and portaits. Anyway, let us have fun !!
Cheers, Sadami
I really admire and appreciate and drool over your wonderful figure drawings now that for two weeks I have been sketching the human form everyday :) I know from experience now that it is such a challenge to draw something like you do in 3, 5 10 minutes!!! And thanks for such beautiful words too.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much, Meera!
DeleteI'm nothing different from others. But I kept sketching, drawing everyday, if I found a time such as 3, 5, 10 minutes. I thought I was silly enough and never gave up... just kept on. But one day, my friend kindly said to me,"Sadami, continuity is a talent." Her say puzzled me. I thought I was silly... "No, it's a great talent. Most of us soon give up." ...oh..I see...
So, I pass on that say to you, continuity is a talent. Keep up!
Best wishes, Sadami
5 min sketch favorite .. super life dwg..sounds like you have a good mentor and friend there

DeleteYes, my mentors and friends are lovely. Well, you have a wonderful HUSBAND and family! I'm going to write about successful mentorship one day.
