drawing

I felt like drawing today, so I looked up some pictures of a friend's boy that I had saved for doing drawings. In school I had learned a method of "mapping" out the body when you begin to do a drawing, where you break down the body into a series of boxes. I understood the concept, and it helped, however I always find it difficult to see the boxes in the body. Instead, I see circles. So I decided today to map out the circles instead, and I was pretty impressed with the finished result. Keep in mind that this is a 5 min drawing, it's completely unfinished and not completely accurate, it is mainly just a way to get an idea of where everything will go. The finished drawing/painting will have clothes on the boy, and he will be playing with a train. A lot of art teachers and artists will push their method of creating a painting/drawing on you as if that is the only way it should be done, however I feel that the best method is different for each person. (This is Brayden, Kimberly... or it will be when it's finished :) ).
