Vitruvian Man…manifests
So…I got to thinking….that if I really want to continue with figure drawing, that I really should take on the opposite sex. I remembered this da Vinci sketch, drawn almost 500 yrs ago. And I thought….ok….why not….not much hair, a definite plus!
Drew out the contour first….like usual. If I could I would’ve showed you my first attempt here…..he had gorilla proportions….seriously! (I didn’t have to erase the legs but my, did I do a number on his shoulders!)
I’d prefer to go in and sketch this…but what is there to sketch? It’s a line drawing. Ugh! So, I am now thinking I’ll go in and whimsey-size it.

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden

Somehow, I don't see a possibility of ANYTHING whimsy about him. don't disappoint us.
I look forward to your sketches, doodles & your blog every time you post. LOVE the beautiful quilts you've made. Such beautiful colors & designs. I can't sew a stitch except for some mending & even that's terrible.
Thanks for sharing.
