Drawing - week 4 - 6/03/2019

-
I'm not the biggest fan of drawing landscapes, I honestly hate drawing them I have no confidence when it comes to drawing landscapes. I think because I have this mindset is the reason why I struggle so hard withdrawing them because it shows through my work that I'm not enjoying it or I am struggling. I'm not sure why I don't like it, I think it's to do with the shapes and how it's all unpredictable and there's so much going on or overwhelming. Maybe I just over complicate things when it comes to drawing because there is so much to draw or so many ways and I don't know where to start. Were with people I always start with the face, were with landscapes where do you start?
