Line

This is a drawing using only line. I find this hard to do, knowing what line to put where, knowing what information is relevant. But the challenge intrigues me, the challenge of choosing a line then surrendering, trusting it so it doesn't look labored.

Sherrie said that most artists, when they are learning to draw, get so hung up on correct proportion that their line loses its life. She said the way to get around this is to draw lines with confidence first, and with practice your eye and hand will learn to hit their mark. This is opposite of the way most beginners think. They labor to "get it right" first, then try to add some sort of flair in the end because their drawing looks stiff.
