Course work: Four one-minute gesture sketches: these seem to be becoming worse instead of better.
Three single-line blind contour drawings, done in about seven, nine, and ten minutes. These are surprisingly improved over most of my earlier efforts, and I have no idea why. I did have to look briefly at the second one, when I ran off the page.
