My Gallery Watching project starts next month and my drawing practice has increased a pace, with my intention to make a drawing every day so far being kept. And the self-challenging never stops (I now dream about drawing continually) whether it be new materials or new environments. I draw upstairs in the coffee shop on Sundays now. It isn’t easy. I like what I know.
People are further apart upstairs, and the décor and layout demand more attention. I respond by trying to be looser, less focussed on the detail. It’s an uncomfortable state and I’m no pup but I persevere.
Take your drawing to ‘almost destruction’ say Gary Embury and Mario Minchiniello in their excellent book ‘Reportage Illustration’. And I try. I do.
