Today I took a step back to remember where I was almost two whole years ago. When it took me several days, a grid, an entire pack of pencils from 8B to 6H pencils, stiff lines, an eraser, and a lot of stepping back to measure several times just to get one portrait done. Today? MAYBE a couple hours, no grid, one 2B pencil, loose lines, and NO ERASER... and this is why I practice EVERY. DAY.
