The Importance of Drawing Eggs
Saturday, October 15, 2005
For the past 2 days I've been struggling with getting a grasp on my new found interest - Creating Manga. Though many thanks to the AEP classes I took back in Sec School Days for grooming me in the theories of perspective and basic human anatomy, I still found it excruciatingly painful to get the face-shape right.
And then I start to recall the short story in my Primary 4 (or was it P5?) textbook, a story about how Leonardo Da Vinci's art teacher used to force him to draw eggs all the time, and the morale of the story being that eggs were the foundational curves for drawing a human face.
Oh... why didn't I take that infinitely wise piece of comment then? Now I can draw everything except the god-damn face, which is also the most important part of everything!
Must go market to buy eggs tomorrow!
