Course work: Four 45-second gestures, done on ~30 x 45 cm paper using a brush pen I dug out of my box of miscellanea. I’m not sure that working on a larger scale helped much. Back to my ~A4 coursework sketchbook for a six-minute blind contour, using the same brush pen. This one turned out better than the last one, but I think it was probably nothing more than regression to the mean.
More work applying tone to my drawing on blue paper. Corrected a drawing error that I should have seen earlier.

Comment: I started the drawing course a year ago today, with the (delusional) expectation of completing it in ten months. Now, after producing over 800 drawings and writing over 50,000 words in my learning log, I still have work left to do, though the end is in sight. Looking at my earliest drawings, I can tell that I have made progress during the year.
Total time: 1 hour 19 minutes (68 h35m)
