I keep coming back to life drawing because it sharpens how I see — not just bodies, but movement, weight, expression, and shape. It’s a discipline that demands focus and honesty, which feeds directly into my illustration work. Whether I’m drawing imagined creatures or abstract forms, that foundation in observation helps me create figures that feel grounded and alive, even when they’re surreal. It’s also just a good reminder that drawing is a physical act — fast, instinctive, and responsive.
