Donald Gardner Newest House Plans

The other day I was talking to Dani Sampere and told me several things I'd like to share with the artists who read this my blog is not a law or a mantra gain sufficient assurance smart things ... but I think everyone who aspires to work in this world, should be considered.

Daniel told me he thinks that is drawn with the head, not your hand, the hand is just a tool. On that basis try to develop your head every day, so much so that can become an obsession. He is trying to learn how everything works and then to draw them better. Is constantly looking at everything and taking mental notes when watching movies, is set in the highlights, shadows of faces, how they move, the planes used by the director, etc.. Still, when going down the street, looks like the buildings, and shadowed with each other. And on the subway or the bus is fixed on the faces, gestures. Daniel is definitely trying to photograph in your head all you can of reality, because the more aware of your surroundings and better able to draw on paper.

also devotes almost daily to look at pictures online, or see all the comics you can. Try to watch the great artists and look their pages trying to go beyond the simple "like" or "I do not like." He wonders why he likes it or not. Scans have done, because they have done so, mark them as shadows, or do the textures in certain places, etc. Each artist has his own style. And do not copy anyone, but to base to look much what others do, he also learns internalizing what they have done and then applying their own way. It is important to see if possible, original.

But more importantly for him is that he is crushed like an Olympic champion, every day, and consistently draws daily.

The basic idea conveyed to me and I think I would like to remain in this post, is that an artist does not have to draw by drawing hoping to improve because. It is much more effective to make the effort to understand what you draw, because you're doing it that way, and if that corresponds to how it should be. Extrapolating: There are two types of guitars, the songs are learned as they are and you can play the repertoire that has been memorized, but here no longer move, or guitarists who know perfectly well how his instrument, who have dominion over him. And then are able to touch everything that they ask, even by ear, without sheet music.

So that you can see what I mean ... i saw the first page of Daniel and the last test done. The difference is 5 years.
