Sketch Dump Pt 1
Sketching is one of the first things artists start doing when they're young—the natural urge to capture every fleeting idea that pops into your head and put it down on paper. When I began drawing, I discovered an interesting habit: the lower the quality of the paper, the better my drawings turned out. Computer paper quickly became my go-to choice, especially during college.
Sketchbooks, on the other hand, felt more like a curse than a gift. Their clean pages seemed to demand perfection, and under that pressure, my creativity often faltered. But with age and experience, particularly through teaching art, I've learned to draw on just about anything. (Though I’ll admit, the people who draw on napkins are a different kind of beast!)
Here are some sketches I've done for figure drawing classes. Are they a bit nonsensical? Absolutely. But that’s part of the charm. I believe these moments of creative chaos give valuable insight into the drawing process. As someone who loves seeing the rough and unfiltered work of creators I admire, I figured—why not share mine?
Enjoy the frantic energy.
