Drawing men in my art journal

stabilo pencils, soft pastels, water brush pen
on construction paper

These drawings are from another Draw With Me from Danny Gregory’s YT channel. I wasn’t able to attend the livestream, but I got caught up soon after that.

I think Danny set a timer of 5 mins for these, if I remember right. It gave me just enough time to go in quickly with my water brush pen, and smoosh the lines around.

As I’ve said before,
I like these quick drawing exercises
to get my hands and brain fired up.

Sometimes, it’s good to challenge yourself to see how much you can get done in a short amount of time without thinking constantly about the final result.

I honestly don’t like these drawings. Sure, I could spend more time on them, and add details to make them better. I don’t know if I will, tho. Maybe sometime?

The whole point of doing these little weekly drawing challenges for me is doing something outside my comfort zone – such as drawing from reference photos I would never have chosen myself.

It’s also about making art just for the sake of making art – for fun, instead of feeling like creating art is all work, and no play.

I hope you have a lovely creative day. Check out Danny’s livestream every Thursday at 9am Pacific time. I’ll see you there!
