Ten-Minute Portrait Drawing No. 1
We originally started drawing 15-minute portraits, just so we could practice getting down the general form of the body. As we gradually got quicker, we went down to doing 10 minute drawings, then to 5 minute drawings. I enjoyed finally having to work with people in this class because there was so much more to pay attention to and grow on.
