Only one goal with all ten sketches, in a Hanhemuehle Nostalgie (90 lb., approximately 8.25″x6″), which was to use the four-step drawing method I learned in Sadie Valerie’s online course. Starting with a big envelope, the process is a combination of estimated lines, comparisons to shapes and sizes, and a lot of readjusting. So, no grids, no measurements, just lines, angles, and, sometimes, shading and details, which I can’t resist. My goal was to apply this method to obtain accurate proportions. I used my own reference photos, knowing photos can be difficult because of the way a camera skews and focuses, but I think it’s a good option for practice. Each small drawing took many hours, which is a big change from the way I used to draw. It’s isn’t wrong to draw fast or slow, but because I’m learning something new, it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
