"Life drawing for me is  an essential core foundation skill

 

It's practise for carving

 

Its important to feel the shapes rather than getting hung up on outline or detail - when you can observe & draw the carving just follows"

 

I find it best to try and draw unconsciously and just follow my instincts

 

The ability to hone your observation skills and capture the essence of a pose on paper is key - proportion, scale and foreshortening

 

Exact precise meticulous drawing is not what matters here, but capturing the feel is"
