Been a little slack posting to my blog this week...so to catch up
Friday:
![110401 Pre Gym sketch]()
One of my quick sketches of ordinary view from where I park my car, just before I go to the gym - made it three times this week, but only one of my sketches worked.

Earlier in the week I posed some questions for myself (prompted my Laura's post) click on the image to read more) and am tryig to include messy pages in my sketchbook.

Crows Nest Plaza - forcing myself to draw people!
I AM going to start drawing people in my daily journal whether I like it or not. I actually enjoy sketching people but find the results so inconsistent that I hate the risk of a bad page in my book... but as I wrote... I have to start practicing what I preach in this regard!
Yet another challenge to myself to draw people!

Getting people in my sketchbook in 3 easy steps - a concept
I don’t seem to mind much that my circles are often TERRIBLE when I draw cups... nor do I care one bit if I get the proportions wrong in a baroque façade (as no one would notice that!) so why do I get so upset when my people come out wrong?
Picasso – I love all my mistakes because they are mine (thanks to Veronica Lawlor for sharing that quote with us in Portland)
I was reminded of some advice from Rick Tulka a few years ago "Draw cups and people!" or was it draw people like they are cups (hmmm interesting idea!)![]()
