Warming Up With One-Minute Sketches

After a pencil drawing and a painting yesterday, today it's time to give those inktense pencils a runout.  And to have a proper go at some figure drawing.

So I've started off the way the experts start with some one-minute figure drawing.  The model's name is Amy and I found her doing these poses on the Draw This YouTube channel.

I actually found this to be quite a good way to loosen up and shake off the cobwebs.  The gesture drawing seems to be working well for me, with quite a bit of energy in those quick scribbles.
