5 minute sketches
May 31, 2010
Here are a few sketches I've done in the last month at figure drawing sessions that are each done in 5 minutes or less.



I was reading the text in this Klimt Drawings and Watercolors book earlier today and found it interesting when they talked about how quickly and carelessly many of them were done, not worrying about if they looked childish or imperfect. I realized I felt I liked my results when I drew quickly, but with at least enough time to partially concentrate on some details. Five minutes seemed to be a good length because it forces you to make a decision about what to emphasize and you have enough time to add partial detail.
