I found a few minutes to sketch a few days ago. Just a little bit of time. And it was one of those drawing episodes where – after three or four lines -things just fell nicely into place rapidly and I could see the way all the way to the end of the drawing, and it was fine. Like happens in a good chess game, incidentally. And like chess, that kind of moment rests on all those numerous other games/drawings that don’t work, that frustrate, enrage, make you laugh with how bad they are, etc. In other words, practice. I just so very much need to do this more, and so much more. To get back to the daily habit of just making sure that I drew something of the world, as practice, as meditation, as portal into the world, as portal for the world to enter me, as fun, and as preparation for a project.
So also yes, I am planning a new project, and pulling it off will require me to re-learn my drawing skills.
So let’s see how this goes. Maybe I’ll start with a goal of 15 minutes a day? Ok, deal.

@Miquel – Yes it looks like that doesn’t it! That’s what happens when you finish some lines after the subject has long since gone…. I think what happened is that the foot was in a position where the toes were not entirely visible when I was swiftly roughing out… later on as I strengthened a few lines I must have then emphasized an extra toe or two and pushed the foot too far into completion before stopping the drawing entirely. I’d better adjust back to the construction strokes! Good call! –cvj
Nice!!
You did draw the right foot in the place of the left one, didn’t you?
