Doodled out

Not sure why, but I'm starting to really struggle with my drawing. It just felt like I was fighting the pencil last night. Might be partly to do with that new pencil grip I'm forcing myself to use, but also how I'm becoming more aware of what I should be doing and finding it difficult to translate that into a satisfying end product on paper. Plus, I might just be over doing it with all these life drawings. Do need to introduce some variety again. Also finding that social commitments are eating up my evenings again. Still, I guess these are the walls that were bound to spring up sooner or later, it's just a question of pushing through them and hopefully coming out a better artist on the other side!

All your drawings look great to me! I know what you mean though, about other commitments keep getting in the way.

That's a great link you've posted, about how to hold a pencil properly. I'm amazed to think that I've never thought about that before. I'll try and think about it next time I'm at life-drawing though.
