When I first began this project, I was barely able to draw a circle; that is probably still the case, but I still feel like I have made a great deal of progress. I decided that my final drawing should be something a little further outside of my comfort zone than what I had been doing in all of my previous posts. I decided that doing an animal with fur would likely be pretty challenging, and I was right. I think I would feel better about my cat if I did not compare it to the one done by the artist in the video I included with this post.
Overall, I was able to make a reasonable amount of progress without buying any special pencils or other materials. I set aside an hour a week to practice, however I did spend a good amount of time doodling throughout the week, and I did not really keep track of that time. I would say that is one of the nice things about something like drawing; you can do it almost anywhere, at anytime, without any special materials.
I believe that as much as I learned about drawing during the last 5 weeks, I learned at least as much about how useful YouTube can be as a learning tool. The amount of information readily available is truly staggering. I was able to find numerous examples of whatever type of drawing I wanted to make. I had used YouTube to learn before, however this experience has really demonstrated how useful it can actually be.
I know I still need a great deal of practice, however I have made much more progress than I thought I would.
