Let Go

Last night and this morning I finally let go of everything that was holding me back from sketching figures. I think it had to do with fear mostly, and self-criticism, but now I’m loosely drawing arms and legs the way I was meant to.

This week’s Collection Development class freed me to do this, where we are required to do a project where the figures aren’t necessesarily human. They don’t have to have hands, feet or even faces, and they don’t have to be on the 9-heads scale. I’ve already come up with a few collection ideas based on this freedom.

My project (due in three weeks) requires me to design a collection for a company of my choice; well, chosen from a list. I picked Betsey Johnson, and will be designing two different 12-pc. Arizona-themed groups!

I’ll write more once I finish this twist dress for Draping tomorrow!
