Trying something new, along the lines of the Pottery Paradox from the book, Art & Fear.

A 500 sheet ream of copy paper will be my sketchpad for the year. Not intentionally trying to use all of them. It’s just practice, and somehow easier to tackle than a bound sketchbook.

Picked up this book at the library: How to Draw Without Talent by Danny Gregory. The Sketchbook Skool logo felt familiar, but it wasn’t until I was a few pages in that when he said he was Koosje Koene’s partner that I got it - I have her book on sketching.

I’ll try pretty much any book on drawing/sketching because reading and practicing the same thing presented differently often helps it click better for me.

This book has fun, quick exercises.

The second and third photos was to make marks while listening to different songs- which I found very helpful. The whole ‘make marks’ thing has always confused me. Probably because I keep wanting the marks to look like some specific thing. Playing with the pen over the paper became secondary to enjoying the song, so much more fun.

Here are links to the songs…
