What I've Learned Thus Far

So far in the past two weeks of Drawing 140 I have learned many things that I never learned in four years of art classes in high school.  I have learned how to hold my pencil more loosely and at the back of the pencil. I have also learned that you draw with your arm and not your wrist. This is uncomfortable at first but it is becoming much more comfortable the more I practice. I have learned that gesture drawings are a way to get a general sketch of what it is that you are seeing in under two minutes and they are also great for showing action. These are all great things to learn and I look forward to learning and applying it to my artwork.
