It’s basically one month and one day before I start teaching a whole new group of students at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. I still have some sketchbook videos that I really need to post. This is a short but sweet sketchbook that Alice worked on when she was all out of ideas. She just did a bunch of drawings while watching Netflix. She was having a creative slump and worked through it wonderfully.
If you have ever been through a creative slump, or just didn’t feel like creating any art, it’s important that you at least continue to draw. It’s important to look at new artists.
Simply drawing each day in your sketchbook will open up new creative channels that you never thought existed. Of course every artist does need a break from time to time. But just keep sketching. It will keep your eye hand coordination up to speed.
Thanks for watching.
Check out Alice’s Instagram. Stop by and visit okay!
Nice work. Alice’s drawings are chalked full of texture, fluidity and confidence.
The clip from tv (motorbike scene) is a favourite.
Thanks for posting.

I like her sort of 1950″s illustrator style. Love the expressions on her faces.
Thanks PJ, I couldn’t agree more.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for your eMails. A question, if I might.
What do you consider ‘life drawing’?
To me and within my experience it is drawing nude sitters. Is all this a problem arising from the use of different types of English language?
I agree, life drawing is working from a live model. Nude or portrait. However I also consider drawing a statue life drawing.
Why, because it’s not drawing from a photo and it’s not drawing from your imagination. It’s life drawing just like drawing from a live person.
