Draw With Me | Faster and Looser

Can you really make a drawing in 5 minutes? What about 3 minutes? Or just 1? I think so, that's why I am making this video, and talking with this super convincing tone... In this Draw With Me, I’m breaking down how I approach timed drawing exercises, from choosing my materials and colour palette to deciding what I’m actually looking for when I draw. We will go through a real time 5, 3 and 1 minute drawing exercise. Nothing is sped up, so you can see how my decisions change as the timer gets shorter and shorter. You're so short your socks reach your hands. We’ll also look at choosing paper and materials that make quick drawing easier, and how I assess the drawings afterwards without getting too precious about the results. You don’t have to start with 5 minutes. Try 10, 20, 3, 50000^89 or whatever feels achievable to you. The point isn’t to make a perfect drawing. It’s to observe, experiment and see what happens when you give yourself less time to overthink. If you try the exercise, let me know which time limit produces your favourite drawing!
