10-30-2012....a busy night, I'd sketched on the train, but wasn't able to add them in....so here they are....
A 365 day lesson in learning to loosen up, to forget being "perfect", and to learn to love the line... My half hour journey to enlightenment via the train and its passengers.

This one started out as a not-so-favorite. I absolutely realized what I was doing wrong.I was too mental in trying to get it to look like people. That happens sometimes. That's when things slow down and it starts getting stiff and I want someone to come up behind me and give me a good head slap. My favorite times are when I STOP thinking, and cut off the communication between my brain and hand and let my hand do all the work. But it DID start growing on me the more I did. Some cool, some sucky.... such is life. And practice. :-)

The train was crowded today. Let me re-state that. The train was VERY crowded today. Beyond the norm. While I was sketching this I was getting constantly battered by a woman's overly large handbag. These two didn't know each other, but just happened to sit down right in front of me. So they were fair game. :-)

If you want to see yourself badly drawn in three minutes and under, you might want to keep an eye out on these sketches. When I'm not on the train with my pen and pad, I'm scrolling through my friends list on Facebook, closing my eyes, and clicking blindly to find my next victim. Good luck if you can actually tell if it's you or not though. ;-)

Today I tried my hand at three minute sketching. Gonna have to speed my lines up. I barely made it through two faces, and one...well...I'd use the excuse that my cat got in the way (which he DID)...but naaah. My fault. Just time to practice speedier moves... ;-)
Yesterday I was off...at a wedding... so of course I wasn't able to get on the laptop and upload the sketches I did while AT the wedding... whoops. So anyway, here you go... yesterday's sketches...
And a full one from yesterday... one of my more used subjects....my mom...

Today I felt stiff. Like I was trying too hard to not try. Therefore....it looks like I took a step backward in progression. But we live and learn. ;-) The top right corner was my first, and more concentrated, and cleanest. I decided I was trying to be too careful and loosened up... the middle three are my effort to do so.. with varied "meh" results. The bottom right was the last, and probably my favorite of all of them...feeling the least focused on "trying" and just more "doing" :-)
