I did life drawing probably a year ago, and the first time I did what everyone does their first time. Trying to trace the edge of the persons body. The area where the person your drawing is separated from the background, and I just highlighted that. I learned though, this is not what you should do. The organizer said instead start with something else. Lines are too strong or obvious or not as important as shadow. He said to work more from the inside then move outside. So your not focused on the difference of the person and background, and more focused on the person.
To me this was a really cool moment and my drawings improved a lot.
Recently I tried drawing again and I first made the same mistake as last time. Focused only on the line I forgot about everything else. Shadow and texture, light and dark.
This also just drawing with charcoal I can't imagine what will happen if you include color.
Infinite.
With work there are also things that you neglect the first time you try something.
At my more currently I do a lot of fluorescent imaging. Which is pretty much just looking down a microscope with different colors. At first though, I thought you should get the max color, so all the images were so bright you couldn't see anything. Now they aren't over powered, so you can make out more structures.
I wonder what there is to figure out next.
