Go simple to sketch more often

By Laura Frankstone in Chapel Hill, NC.

I find I’m sketching less. Painting more, illustrating more, but sketching less. The solution to this problem for me, a drawer since age 2, seems to be to follow my own desire for simplicity. Pencils, paper, and what my eye is, you will pardon the expression, drawn to. Thus, some simple, recent sketches of mine.

With these, I feel that I’ve broken the ice of my recent near avoidance of sketching as it seems to have become a more and more complicated genre. But it is what you make of it… and so I go back to my drawing roots and I feel good!
