Practice makes better!



Practice makes better, and I know as an inker this has worked for me, now I have to start including this more if I'm ever going to be a penciler to look out for! (I can dream right!?!)



I used to venture out to various studios in Manhattan to take a few figure drawing classes. Even while just inking it was good to loosen my hand and sharpen my eye. Now as a aspiring penciler as well, its down right critical! There's plenty of great figure pictures on the web but I wanted to do quick renderings to help improve my speed as well.



I grabbed a countdown clock (also on the web) and did full figure drawings at different intervals. One minute, 5 minute, 10 minute etc.



The only really daunting thing is to keep doing it on a consistent basis... with a heavy workload and a future day job, I'll just have to find the time!

Keep drawing/ writing... I'm sure we can inspire each other!

Best, Peter.
