Opportunities for legitimate life drawing are few these days so I stay sharp by sketching people and models from magazines.

Sometimes I'll pick at a drawing or for several days in a row or I'll feel compelled to add ink and watercolor, but my sketchbooks are mostly filled with half-finished drawings that I do quickly.  I draw random things from the back of my mind or I use photographs (the bottom drawing is based on a Reinhard Begas statue I saw in a book) or I draw people and things I see when I'm out and about. I draw every day.
