Quick drawings of our pond






I took my sketchbook to the upper pond with the intention of making quick, three to five minutes sketches of our pond.
I do these exercises with a time limit because I want to draw from real life and to be able to do this, I have to practice seeing and translating situations into a drawings or a drafts very quickly.
People do not sit long in one position even in cafes and restaurants. They keep on moving their heads and hands, shift their position or get up.
People on the street are even harder to draw, which is why I always use photos of street scenes.
But it is good to train myself to be able to draw quickly.
I used a B5 pencil.
