Reference Sketching

Categories:

I’ve decided to work on my anatomy and posing by returning to the basics and doing pose reference sketches. Every morning this week, I load up the Sketch Daily Reference website, set the timer to two minutes, and sketch about 5 poses. It’s a great way to get myself up and creating while creating speed-paint content for my social media accounts. I like 2-minute pose reference sketches because they give me permission to create without perfectionism. No second-guessing, no eraser, just diving right in. Here are a couple of examples of my sketch pages this week.

You can find my speed paints on my social media accounts, linked at the bottom of the page.
