Following on from my last post, I've done a few portrait studies using a Derwent 8B pencil, trying to loosen up my drawing and get line and shadow down quickly, rather than line quality and 'perfect' drawings. I think this exercise has really helped me to not obsess over getting details perfectly, especially the first time. I can always refine drawings in the later stages. I think I'll definitely be using thicker softer pencils more often and trying to draw larger. I might even invest in an A3 sketchbook.
