Many of Bridgman's lessons have been published. So, I picked a few up.
In downtown Phoenix, those who are familiar with my artwork know it for the crudely drawn cartoons and borderline psychotic caricatures.
I chose to fill a hole in my humanity by sitting down and focusing on some good, basic life drawing.
Down below is the work I did in some of Bridgman's published life drawing lessons.
As a teacher I can be very task oriented. I aim for the standard and I shoot very directly and efficiently. I approach the Fred the Mustard Packet cartoons the same way. I draw only what each individual cartoon needs. I work on getting it out as fast as possible. I work efficiently to get the message across. In my time with Bridgman I learned to take my time, to enjoy the process, to meditate on the work a little, and to lovingly add some extra details.
