[QUOTE="EddyWoo, post: 3308883, member: 157933"] I thought I'd start a thread here at MAP for those of you interested in art or sketching. I'd like it to be as simple as a one word theme or perhaps a phrase that we all draw or sketch to. Can be a from a sketchbook or a a piece of printer paper or even on a cocktail napkin... just sketch to the word/phrase and then scan and post. We can keep it martial arts oriented or we can play around a bit. What say you? Give me some feedback people and I'll start it off after I get some response. Below is an example of some of the sketching I knock out when having a bit of time to kill. Would be cool if we got others posting their quick sketches as well. Or gone-but-not-forgotten Koyo would have enjoyed this type of a thread! He was well into his pen and ink drawings. One interesting component of drawing is that it's at least 50% observation. Particularly when drawing from life and quick-sketching. Quick sketching - where the drawings are done simply to arrive the best possible gesture of the subject - is one of the key ways the train animators to be able to reproduce and exaggerate motion in the human figure and animals for animated films. I've always thought as a fighter and a coach that observation are key abilities towards being able to effectively fight and coach. So it's quite an interesting subject from something that is at first glance completely unrelated to sports or the world of martial arts. [/QUOTE]
