Speed drill

5 quick portraits of subjects from Reddit

They say the key to improving your art is doing a bunch of it. Fill your sketchbooks! They also say you’ll learn more by doing several figures in an hour than spending that time on a single figure. So, I’ve decided to start a regular sketching drill. I give myself an hour and draw everyone I see on one of the DrawMe subreddits.

I got through 5 figures here, so roughly 12 minutes apiece. One is good, one is salvageable. The rest are varying degrees of horrible. Maybe someday we’ll all look back on these early things and laugh. Let’s hope.
