Hi everyone!
First of all I would like to wish you all a happy new year 😊
The end of the year ended with some disappointments on my side, I had some refusals or some objectives that I wasn't able to succeed in times. But I also have new goals for 2025, and above all a resolution: to be less hard on myself and more realistic. I'm almost never able to finish the things that I would like to, in the delays that I impose on myself, because I'm too ambitious and not so attentive to my limits and the real pitfalls. So I have to rethink all these things and be more relaxed about it. In fact, most of my 2024 goals aren't really missed, they're just not finished yet, they're just postponed. I can't wait to talk to you about my future projects :) I'm slow (or so I think), but in any case I'm going at my own pace; working hard until burnout is not so much for me. I take care of myself first of all.
So today I am going to share with you some sketching exercises I did to practise drawing the torso, the most important part of the body and certainly the most important when designing a figure.
As I mentioned before, a good way to think about the torso is to imagine it in the shape of an egg or a box.
Then I make some sketches to practise the different positions of the torso; the torso is particularly interesting as I can be destabilising at first, drawing it is not so easy, so it is useful to train with a simpler shape.
Hope you will like it.
And you, do you have any resolutions or goals for 2025? I would love to know if you do!
See you soon for more creations :)
