40 Days of Art: Life Drawing

As soon as you dip a toe into the world of animation, you will notice that everyone goes on and on about life drawing. You have to go to life drawing! they say. It's an essential part of training! This is, of course, entirely true. It does rather frame life drawing as an obligation, though, and I think it's this attitude towards it that causes people to drop it as soon as they leave school.

I'm not going to tell you that you have to go to life drawing. Lots of other people can do that. What I am going to do is tell you why you should go to life drawing.
