The one line drawing.





I have started applying a technique with sewing I learnt at Art college during life drawing lessons, called 'the one line drawing'. Basically the idea is to not let your drawing implement leave the paper whilst you draw. Often these exercises were timed so you had thirty seconds for example, or a minute and a half to commit as much to paper as possible. More often than not it was the lack of detail that created the point of interest. Plus you draw less with your brain and more with your hand.
