I used to think I could draw well. Now I know that I still need tons more practice. A humbling realization.
Jeff, I admire your determination. Since I signed up for a Tony Ryder painting workshop in December I decided to buy his book and work through the drawing exercises in it between now and then (not much time, I know!)
He asserts that practicing his drawing methodology (especially using the concept he calls "the envelope") for one year will save you ten years time in learning to draw well using any other method. Quite a statement! But after admiring his breath-taking figure drawings I think he's probably on to something.
Good luck with whatever path you choose!
