THE PERMISSION TO MAKE MISTAKES, EXPERIMENT AND DO BAD DRAWING. THE PRACTICE AND PROCESS IS THE GOLD.
Akewit is not a self-taught artist. He had scholarship and earned the M.A in graphic design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in GA, USA.
Free time, He has visited the body drawing practice exercises class to study basic figures and the principles of drawing human body proportions. With 5 minute figure poses, this class gives students the permission to make mistakes, experiment and do bad drawing. The practice and process is the gold. Akewit has phases of doing figurative drawing with recognizable images and abstract drawing without recognizable images. Finally, he decided to draw what he liked, and the work had a cartoon style in a language of his own.
Draw what you like.
Draw an object that has sentimental value to you. He has made a huge variety of work by looking at objects and how they move or change, and recording them in many different ways, from painting to photography and film. Object can be anything. Draw it at different sizes and angles. Get to know every detail. Here I’ve looked at the human face from the picture. See the skin shape, hair movement attitude, and try to draw it in one color shape and pattern.
