I’ve never been too proud of my drawing skills…I usually use drawing as a way to plot out paintings, but never as an end in itself. But I do find that regardless of your skill level, drawing is fun and time seems to stand still. Maybe its self-indulgent and that’s why I always put it on the back burner…?
Anyway, my friend J.L. recently challenged me on the spot to draw a pic of us and scan it back to him in 15min. My immediate reaction was “Can I have 20min?” I needed to find some paper, grab a pencil and find a reference picture. Plus I needed to plug in my scanner after wiping an inch of dust off it! Suffice it to say, it was a lot of fun. I do actually prefer to draw quickly. It was also a good way to get me to do something I love to do, which has been falling to the wayside recently with all the activities of summer. With summer taking over, it was just what I needed, some much needed summer art inspiration.
So I challenge you…draw a pic of someone in 15min and send it to me…
Don’t think about it, just do it….go!
