"Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter
how little it is, it will be well worth while, and it will do you a
world of good."
-Cennino Cennini (14th century artist and writer)

My drawing usually starts by pulling out my small drawing pad and pen, looking at what is around me and picking a subject.
Even the most seemingly mondane subject can end up making a pleasing picture (the BBQ, which was originally omitted from the first picture, was added at the end - adding interest and balance!)
I am learning that sketching isn't just about replicating a scene, but more about understanding how to really see (and, much like practicing the piano: the more you do it, the more natural it becomes!)
Draw on,
