Episode #008: Leandra Urrutia, sculptor | MCA

August 3, 2014 by Creative Memphis Podcast

Leandra Urrutia, accomplished drafter, sculptor, teacher, eternal student, and Memphis Roller Derby girl. All kinds of nuggets and recurring themes. Market yourself, no one else will. Never stop learning, constantly push to progress more. Respect those who teach or else we’ll be without them. Also, being an artist, it takes a toll on the body, so be careful.

Leandra drew so much she got bored and learned left handed technique which made her more mindful of the drawing practice and slowed her down.
Tip – Puts implement in non-dominate hand, think about how you’d create the form then and then transfer implement back to dominate hand and begin.
