Painter or Draftsman?

As artist we are either all painters, or Draftsman. Painters see figures and objects in terms of form, as opposed to Draftsman who see things in lines.

I learned this fact from an professional. An art Director actually. His name is James Lingo.

I took what he said into consideration and discovered that I am definitely more of a painter than a draftsman. My mind wants to wrap around forms as a whole rather than define them with lines...

This simple gesture was done in roughly 1 minute and 30 seconds... maybe 2. And it honestly felt SO much better and came much more naturally. I am definitely going to really push this style of gesturing. I can't wait to see the progress I make!
