Lesson from Ben Ruiz.

I’ve told this before, but I keep thinking today about Ben Ruiz, my life drawing teacher at @thekubertschool. Ben was watching me do a figure drawing in charcoal. Lots of ambiguity, smearing the charcoal around with the side of my hand. Bathing the drawing in murk, getting artsy.

He asked why I was drawing like that. He’d asked for a simple, diagramatic depiction of anatomy. I said I was trying to be expressive. Ben took a beat, then said “Steve you're here to accumulate knowledge. You're a first year art student; You have nothing to express but your own ignorance."

Short #protip: A million years ago when I was a student at the Joe Kubert school, I had a hard time drawing the clothed figure. I didn't understand drapery, or tension & compression, or the construction of clothing. I whined at my teachers to show me how to do it, like there was a magic wand they could wave and *POOF* I'd suddenly know how.

In the end, two things helped. One was a close study of a handful of pages from #JackHamm's book Drawing the Head and Figure.

The other was that Joe Kubert got sick of my shit and went Mr Miyagi on me. He told me to get a Sears catalog. And he told me to copy it.

For about a month I spent every free moment copying pictures of catalog models . I slowly figured out how to apply the suggestions and concepts I'd read in Jack Hamm's book.

So, having trouble with clothes? Look at Jack Hamm for the principles. And do a pencil study of every figure in a giant catalog to hammer it home.

When I stared writing this gag, the original idea was to draw a dream that would be ended by a leg cramp. I've had recurring, terrible cramps in my calves ever since I used to walk to school carrying my insanely heavy portfolio and bag while at the Kubert School. They started then and have never really let up. Then I had the idea to make the dream a stress dream, since that's been a running theme of late. In a perfect world where there's enough of a demand for this strip to run 2 or 3 days a week, this core idea could have filled up a few strips. (Help make this happen by supporting me on Patreon... hint, hint!) On one level, there's the stress dream of needing to pee and only finding toilets in INCREDIBLY AWKWARD places. This one with the intersection happens to me a LOT, honestly. (With a number of variations on the visual shown. lol) Honestly, the only thing that's a 100% cartoon invention here is the inclusion of the "toilet shark" to bring the cramp into the dream a little. In reality, they just happen so fast that I'm woken up without warning by them. And yes... the punchline HAS happened at least once. lol
