Art journal on easel; stand at arm's length; sketch with charcoal holding it loosely at its end. No brainer sketches - smudge, erase, it's all fair game. I decided to seal it with matte medium applied using an old credit card. It smeared the sketches, but that's okay. Nothing is so precious that it cannot be altered. I like the mystery it created.

Abstract and Distortion
A different take on figure drawing - abstraction and distortion. Drawing the hands large to give them added importance; distorting the rest of the body...inspired by the work of Emma Petit.
