sketches of my own 1+1=20 projects using technique I learnt today and others

# data[].attributes.body
using different methods for drawing a simple object - from top right to bottom left - blind drawing
- line drawing
- left hand
- right hand
Each with 30 seconds. I found that my favourite drawings were the most abstract. I also found that the line drawing technique aided me in the blind drawing and the left handed drawing to keep my balance. In all cases the one is preferred has been the comfortable hand drawing. This may be because I spend more time overthinking things the are rendered insignificant in terms of getting down the key features, unlike drawing without sight or with one single line.

the next task - drawing an object from the imagination is 60 seconds, 30 seconds, 15 seconds and 5 seconds. I found with this activity that I learnt the crucial thing to get down first is the overall shape/form regardless of the time you have to draw the object. This being drawn it allows you to go into more detail depending on the time you have - in each sketch we were not told how long we had to draw. Furthermore surprisingly it was not always the sketches that I had more time to draw that had more detail.

the methods of drawing we learnt here allows a lot more accuracy in terms of form

From the talk with the speaker the things that jumped out at me particularly were the line drawings. She expressed that this medium was effective due to its speed, enabling her to capture a moment. She used this to express social and cultural issues. The speaker also mentioned that by drawing/sketching instead of photographing a scene it forced her to really look at what you are capturing.
Another thing that struck me from her work was her use of drawing mediums; she mentioned when documenting the football matches in Glasgow she filled her pen with the Scottish soup 'Barrel', which is typically drunk at matches.

I went to Sauchiehall street - full of character and people generally - and documented the people there using line drawings / quick sketches instead of working from photographs as I usually do. I found this method hard initially as the sketches had to be fast before the subject moved away, however as I practised I became more accustomed.
