Another post-mastectomy non-dominant drawing, doing point to point I suppose (who’s the really old guy who demos this so beautifully at over 80 years old—oh yeah! Glen? Villpu. Probably spelled wrong. #villpu #vilpu #glenvillpu So Again, #nondominanthand #drawdrawdraw https://www.instagram.com/p/CRiN8DQLDuh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did this 2 hour study during Glen Vilpu’s masterclass before the summer holiday @atelier westerdok. The man was a beast! It’s not really my usual way of working, but fun enough. Pencil and white chalk on toned paper. The life drawing season at Westerdok is starting soon. My session starts thursday 19-09, 19:30. Feel free to join us!

avernalism replied to your post: I’m finding my main issue drawing people is the...

drawabox.com is a wonderful reference. Also, gesture drawing is SUPER important. Try Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. Its been invaluable in helping me learn to draw people fluidly. Additionally, Vilpu tutorials are a huge help.

Thanks fam. I’m working through drawabox, but unfortunately they don’t seem to be teaching figure drawing any more, just non-person stuff.

I’ll check out the others as well.

Mwaka 2000, Ras Bob Chuwa alikuja kunichukuwa kutoka Dogodogo Center, baada ya kuniona nina kipaji cha muziki, akanipeleka nyumbani kwake Mbezi Beach. Alikuwa akimiliki vyombo vya muziki,  hivyo tukaanza mazoezi makali sana ya muziki, tukaanzisha bendi ya muziki wa Reggae, na tukawa tunapiga muziki katika Hoteli mbali mbali za wazungu.  Kwa kaka huyo nilijifunza mambo kadhaa kuhusiana na imani ya Urastafari na nilianza taratibu kuiamini na kuipenda imani hiyo. Bendi haikudumu sana ilivunjika baada ya muda mfupi. Dada Rehema kutoka Uganda aliyekuwa miongoni mwa waimbaji alinikutanisha na mzungu aliyekuwa akiitwa Ras Vilpu, ambae alinipeleka kwenye kambi ya Marastafari  maeneo ya Majumba sita uwanja wa ndege Dar es Salam. Hapo nilikutana na Marasta wengi sana. Ras Simba ambae kwa sasa ni mwalimu maarufu wa kingereza Tanzania, Ras Makombe, Ras Kuku, Ras Chuchu, Ras Jihko Man mwanamuziki maarufu wa Reggae Tanzania. Hapo nilijifunza mambo mengi sana kuhusiana na imani ya Marasta, na tukaanzisha Bendi ya Reggae (Tanzania Rasta Group). Tulirekodi nyimbo kadhaa (Live) katika studio za ITV, TVT (TBC) wakati huo nilikuwa nikicheza Gitaa la Solo. Lakini Bendi haikuendelea sana. Mwaka 2001 nilichukuliwa na Ndugu Freedom Balesija mdogo wa Marehemu Patrick Balesija, tukaunda bendi ya muziki wa dance. Hatukuwa na vyombo vya muziki bali tulikuwa tukikodisha kutoka kwa watu wengine. Katika Bendi hii nilikutana na ndugu Ramadhani Kisolo ambae alinisaidia sana kujua kucheza Gitaa. Tuliishi maisha magumu sana, nakumbuka tulikuwa tukila mlo mmoja tu kwa siku na nilikuwa nikifanya mazoezi ya Gitaa masaa nane kila siku. Baadae nikahamia Kariakoo  na kujiunga na bendi ya Segere (Young Stars Taarab) wakati huo huo vijana tukajiunga tukaanzisha kikundi cha ngoma, maigizo, na muziki kilichoitwa LUMUMBA STAR  kwani tulikuwa tukifanya mazoezi katika Shule ya msingi Lumumba Kariakoo, na kiongozi wetu alikuwa ni mwalimu wa Shule hiyo. Maisha yalizidi kuwa magumu sana, baadae  nikachukuliwa na Mwanamuziki Komandoo Hamza Kalala katika bendi ya Bantu Group. Hapo kidogo nilipata haueni ya maisha tulikuwa tukicheza muziki mara tatu kwa wiki na nilikuwa nikilipwa Tsh. 3000 kila ninaposhika Gitaa.
