Friday's with Reagan: pencil lines

The artist was asked to just copy a pencil sketch I handed her, the trick is, not to lift her pencil at any point of the drawing process, cool huh? It took her a bit of time to get used to this skill, not really that hard, but then again, not really that easy either.


All those who participated in this activity had a chance to produce a 'confident' artwork. My point is, when someone is doing a piece like what you see in the above, it's comes naturally that you will tend to plan your strokes for the next few steps.


When you plan your strokes, you will see all the steps that you are going to make, so, in this way you will have more confidence in executing the task. A lot of visualizing should be done in this planning stage, a lot of imaginative skills are put into use . For some, this is impossible, but it can only suck at the first time...practice makes perfect baby...


I hope you guys out there learned at least something from this... If you didn't, drop me a comment okay, then we'll discuss this more, provided if I could answer your enquiries... till then...
