photography and drawing
I'm wondering if any of you guys do both photography and drawing as a
hobby, and what effect you find drawing has on your photography. |

I do both drawing and watercolour painting as hobbies, and photography for a living. My photographic composition has improved considerably since I did a drawing course earlier this year (or so I am told). Lets see some of your work, TP. |

My ex taught art in a middle school for 25 years, perspective and compsition were always taught early on in each class. One has to wonder what tp's photos looked like for all those years before his "drawing" class. |

One has to wonder what tp's photos looked like for all those years before his "drawing" class. My thought exactly. Composition in drawing does indeed cross over in terms of basic concepts, but these are the same basic concepts that TP has repeatedly ridiculed when referred to here. TP has always fancied himself a photographer of such greatness that he holds rights to deride any and all others. This is especially interesting since he's never had the nerve to post links to ANYTHING he has ever done with a camera. That he made "considerable improvements" just this year from a drawing class is rather funny indeed when placed within the context of his pompous BS. He continues to be a doofus... |

My ex taught art in a middle school for 25 years, perspective and compsition were always taught early on in each class. One has to wonder what tp's photos looked like for all those years before his "drawing" class. I believe him. I'm experimenting these days with drawing using a Black Bic pen on A4 sheets affixed to a cardboard clipboard. I guess i could use pencil instead, and I had habitually used pencil in the past, till someone suggested using a Bic pen because you can't erase your mistakes, and therefore it gets interesting in how attentive you need to be. I don't plan to use colors anytime soon. I have not yet had a chance to reflect because I've only done one 10 or 20 mins session of drawing since i started photography again. But I really want to do more drawing to supplement photography. I find the two satisfy different needs in me. Photography so far has been an outdoors activity for me. I go on photo walks that last a couple of hours on average and in them I could walk miles, thereby an exercise and a breath of sun, open space, and fresh air, and I could take routes i'd not explored so far just to see what could be there. There's a feeling that you get in your late teens after you leave home and move to another town, you just find yourself walking places, exploring, sightseeing and etc. Photography brought back that playful curiosity to me. I had lost it for many many years. Drawing seems to be a more absorbing activity. It's highly, highly meditative. It's almost like I go into a trance when I draw. I don't know what it does for sure but it seems to do something to my brain. It's almost like smoking, but even more pleasant. I feel it like a zoning out of time and a strange, warm trickle in my musculature. Whereas with photography you just look and click, with drawing you have to look and look and look and look. It's less about the end results and more about the process. The end result, however good, will be nothing like a photo. But getting there is a potentially frustrating, but often very comforting process. Most of the drawing I have done is still life or inanimate objects. I have not tried anything complex. Years ago I used to be good enough to do quick portraits that were remarkably good and often amazed people, but I have lost that as I've not practiced for a long long time. I really want to get back to drawing as a daily habit and see how it affects me. I know from past experience that it usually has a tremendous pyshoclogical effect on me. And I'm sorta curious too, it being a visual act, how it'd affect my photography. |
