"Keys that jingle in your pockets"

I skipped the 2-key practice and went straight into the 3 keys!

I worked on this for 90 minutes today, half an hour yesterday. In all, I did 2 hours yesterday. I think if I just keep drawing, I just got to get better, shouldn't I? I am also re-reading "Drawing with your artists brain".

I do understand it better now than I did when I first got it.

I don't know, maybe because my designs (except the Tarots) have always been so analytic, that's just how I think: if I cannot analyse it, I think I cannot draw it either.

The book speaks about retraining your brain...

"Windmills of your mind"

Our art group has asked the textile/mixed media artists to create a piece based on music for March 2010. That inspired me to do a drawing, based on the lyrics of  "Windmills of your mind",  at Deb's course.
Initially I was going to do a collage,  then I designed a film strip that was to show "images unwinding".
I was pretty excited about that design, but it meant that each of the images had to be drawn small, to fit into the strip. As per usual, I got to the stage where it didn't seem worthwhile, especially as I missed 2 of the classes. Also as before, I didn't like my drawings.
Today I decided to "just do it!" and DRAW. I chose "keys that jingle in my pockets". I spend 90 minutes, drawing one key and I am happy with the result. I didn't draw from life, but from a reference drawing. Next I am going to draw a key overlapping another key, then 3 keys.
I will need to forget the idea of drawing small, so I am going back to the collage, something like this
Next class is Tuesday, I want to be able to have something to show then.
