When You Were a Kid You Liked to Draw - Right?
So what happened? Why not try drawing some of your own pictures? Good therapy. Guaranteed! Most of my own sketches are made using a Derwent Sketching Pencil HB (hard and black) and with a blunt point (which seems a bit contradictory). Just stick up a suitable photograph on a vertical board and using a cheap sketchbook do a freehand sketch of what you see. Concentrate on the shapes (not dimensions) and draw quickly. This is what sketching is all about. I bet you'll like it. Hope you like my own climbing sketches.
