Here are the photos from the Blue Wave summer camp, which took place in Tunbridge Vermont. Sweaty and fun. Much of the camp walked around in my t-shirt design (even up to three days without washing;)), which was exciting and slightly surreal.
** Also, some notes on the figure drawing: Taekwondo, like many martial arts, seems to be based both on building body strength and coordination for offensive and defensive moves/stances, but also on knowing the opponent and working with their tactics continuously throughout the match. I found that the better I understood the sport, the easier the drawings got. [And of course, the observation done in drawing fueled the learning]. My approach is as follows: I tend to [visually] block the body into segments, head, chest, hips, legs… But then to find a defining movement to capture, as a starting point for the drawing, one that goes through the whole body. And working from there. An adaptation of fashion drawing.. It took many drawings to make progress!
Thanks so much to Blue Wave of Burlington VT for letting me be a part of it :)
