self, free drawing


self, free drawing, originally uploaded by anongrrl.


pick up a pen. yes, a pen. not a pencil, a pen. put it to paper, look in the mirror, and free draw yourself. do not make corrections. just draw. spend no more than five minutes on this drawing.

five minutes is a LONG time for an exercise such as this!

once you get the lines in, embellish a little with hatching or swirls. sign it. move on. try another.

if you make a few you can then go back and try a little color. don't be afraid to watercolor old sketches. you'll be surprised what you can get from it.

in this drawing of myself, i really love the lips. they aren't really my lips, but they're gorgeous.
