If you think that you can't draw, then maybe you need to rethink the purpose of drawing. Is it possible for you to do it without judging yourself or live in fear of others judging you?
- Make a drawing today of something that is sitting right in front of you. Study it, notice the light and shadows around it. Resist the urge to erase parts as you go. Then throw it away without showing anyone else. And before you do, you could try the following before you start. -t
The following meditation I found in the book, "The Yoga of Drawing" by Jeanne Carbonetti:
Breathe deeply
As you do imagine that all of the tension in your body drains through your feet
Take a second deep breath as you imagine that all of the extraneous thoughts are
floating weightless out the top of your head
floating weightless out the top of your head
With a third deep breath bring your attention to your heart center. Imagine a golden translucent cord traveling from your heart to the heart of your subject. Through that cord you can feel the movements of the subject... You are able to register the subtle nuances of feeling, as energy shifts within your own body... -J.L.
