There's a section on techno and futuristic drawing which doesn't interest me in the slightest, but I'm looking forward to the landscape and animal lessons. Realism isn't his thing, but he can draw anything and make it look easy.
The most useful part has just been reviving a drawing habit. The hardest part is staring at the blank sheet and getting started.
I did that mountain sketch yesterday in about a half hour, and when I stepped away, the "rock" in the foreground looked like a giant sleeping (or dead) beaver! John suggested I add some downed cottonwoods, just like Twisp. Rocks and trees, by the way, are really difficult.
Anyway, I'm trying to do one sketch a day and not take myself too seriously. It should be fun.
Guess what? Snowing again in Seattle this morning. I have a dentist appointment 2 blocks away (providing my hygienist can get to work.) By afternoon, we should be done with the snow, but bitter cold. This afternoon I might brave going to ukulele group on the heated patio. It's pizza night.
