Really i'm not sure i should be sharing these but ... it's thing-a-day and i have to post. These are becoming increasingly easy i think, starting to understand what it means to connect pencil and eye. Portraits in a coffee shop, this pm: not looking at paper except in between drawings.
Been wanting to learn how to sketch better. So will try to follow the NIcolaides The Natural Way to Draw book (finally after years!) for a while and see where it goes. These are 2 contour drawings: one made really slowly and one really fast. (Can't see what you're drawing, need to keep your eye on the subject and can't lift your pen from the page).
