A No Pressure Pencil Exercise: Three Princesses

                                Close-ups

 

This drawing was done from a photo for a weekend

drawing event.  It is a pencil sketch, 81/2 X 11 inches. 

When really relaxed and using junk paper and pencil,

when there is absolutely no pressure to draw well,

you can be free and relaxed with your line.  You

can make lines filled with life and movement…

COMMITTED, BRAVE  lines drawn with ABANDON.

The secret is to do this when under pressure or tense

because you are using expensive materials.  The secret

to solving this is  to work around others and to use

and destroy some nice papers without sadness because

you have learned something.  Maybe not something

astonishing but something as simple as “ I need to vary

my line more.”  This simple understanding is really worth

much more than a sheet of paper.

I have included  two close-ups for you to see  my line.

It was done on junk paper with mechanical pencil… a NO

pressure exercise.
