Before my tenosynovitis inward my drawing mitt got bad (Don't EVER interview all 24-hour interval for 2 weeks non-stop!) I used to larn to a weekly "Drawing a Head" degree at the Princes Drawing School (now Royal Drawing School) - non in addition to therefore much for the tuition every bit having models to draw.
There I used to "eyeball" the models in addition to inward TWO HOURS used to progress through a serial of personal challenges which went a piffling agency beyond drawing the head

Draw 2 people, amount size, inward graphite on a large canvas of paper

| The interesting affair almost drawing 2 models is getting the perspective right and making them await every bit if they are genuinely sat inward the chair (or on a cushion) |
 |
| I ever drew inward the backgrounds every bit it gave me a scaffolding matrix against which to stair out off parts of the body! |
Draw the models in addition to the other artists
Then at that spot was 2 models in addition to the artists on the other side of the room......
I spent many weeks doing this until I decided I directly needed the challenge of pen in addition to ink.....

Drawing inward pen in addition to ink (i.e. NO ERASING!)
One of my favourite exercises which I made upwards every bit a challenge was to draw the caput of i somebody from iii sides inward pen in addition to ink inward 2 hours. I had 2 x 45 minutes fourth dimension slots in addition to i of thirty minutes. I preferred the 45 infinitesimal ones - thirty minutes was a only piffling chip besides short.
These iii heads are on a canvas of A3 size cartridge paper

Drawing inward pen in addition to ink - amongst no underdrawing in addition to no contours!
This I decided was the ultimate challenge otherwise known every bit how to brand myself REALLY LOOK!
So the challenge is to depict a caput and
- complete the drawing inward pen in addition to ink - using hatching
- with no underdrawing
- ABSOLUTELY NO CONTOURS i.e. hatching upwards to where the contour would hold upwards if at that spot were one!
See the overstep prototype for i such drawing which was completed inward 45 minutes on a canvas of A3 cartridge paper.
Drawing inward colour
Every directly in addition to i time to a greater extent than I would convey inward my coloured pencils in addition to depict inward colour; optically mix colours on the newspaper - in addition to erase his highlights using my battery eraser! (Buzz, buzz!)
