Basics. In art it really doesn’t get much more basic – at least if one is drawing a figure. I maintain – even though I do dearly love Photoshop – that it improves one’s own drawing ability enormously doing a few things like the old masters – studying anatomy like Leonardo da Vinci or Rembrandt. It gets into the bone of the artist, or one could say, the meat that fuels creativity. Oh God – was that portentous? Good grief. I’m sure not saying that I draw like an old master. It would be great but…well, one must face reality.
