The reason why I continue to practice live figurative drawing falls far beyond my fascination for the alluring complexity of the human form. I find the practice of figure drawing to be greatly rewarding. I see it as a form of mental exercise in which one must learn to acknowledge and work with the internal distractions of the mind. I believe this practice helps me to curate more mindful and focused abilities in an ever increasingly distracted on-demand world.
