Things No One Can Draw Well
öde:
I can't draw anything well.

that's a huge problem when drawing. people, including me, forget to really really look at something they are drawing and continue to look at it.
i hate it when i'm working on a drawing of a person and i finally get things all measured out and then the model moves when i'm not looking. so i have to either guess what it did look like or erase it. but then they end up moving a lot. everytime i have had to draw feet, we always have the model who seriously can't stay still.

whenever I have had the opportunity to work with models for drawings I had the comic design layouts ... so I knew the poses and shots I needed. I simply spent the afternoon with a camera getting loads of reference photographs. The models/friends didn't need to hold any pose longer than a few minutes for each set up ... I snapped away quickly (getting a ton of safety shots as well the shot I wanted!)
Later on I was able to hit the lightbox and trace off many of the pictures I needed directly onto the Bristol Board!
I hated working with seated models in art college. I found it uncomfortable and the way they would wander around to look at the hideous drawing you had done of them afterward was not good.

Bikes are the things that piss me off.
EDIT - When drawing, it wasn't a general statement against our two wheeled friends.

i like working from models (except the jittery ones). there's so much you can't get from a photograph. but, working from photographs is more practical, because well, not many people like sitting still for long periods of time. let alone get naked. which is weird, because half of the people i know would model if they had the opportunity. (except drawing a friend naked is really really weird. like really weird.)
