Drawing on recycled paper or using ink that can’t be erased are ways of releasing my expectations and loosening up.

These were done on hardware store “painter’s paper” with charcoal

(the kind you spread on the floor to protect it from paint)

Leaning on a chair – didn’t draw the chair cuz I didn’t want to!

1-2 Minute ink sketches in a very small sketchbook

My Sketchy Life – inky dinky, dilly Dali

New model – not an ounce of body fat on the boy.  The majority of students are well into their 60’s.  I made note of how many of the women asked him to return to model ! . .  I myself prefer the models with a bit of ballast around their belly.  Gives me more room for error.

This class I ventured out of my comfort zone,  put away eraser and went for it with  permanent ink and no preliminary sketch in pencil.

Notice the box?  I keep trying to draw within the box so the figure doesn’t run off the page.  Here’s my result!
