Simply an observation

I've heard this approach used by instructors of disciplines ranging from voice to yoga.

"Simply make an observation. This is where you are today."

"Let go of self-criticism and judgement."

For many, there is a familiar habit of self-criticism and judgement associated with self-observation. Familiar though this habit may be, it often hinders the student's progress.

Notes:

• For some reason I found it impossible to find my groove with this page
• It didn't help that the drawings in the book I have differ from the first edition
• Proportions continue to haunt me
• Here's hoping the next sheet goes more smoothly

Lookie what I got today!

Which some of you may better know as this:

Love having my own copy of the book! It's OK working from the copies that Steve Worth had generously provided over at the Animation Archive. But there's nothing quite like having your very own copy!

Between the book and all of the model sheets I've got to work on, I could be kept busy for years! Hope to be back soon.
