Draw Tip Tuesdays - 4 Self Portraits in 10 Minutes

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! What if you could draw 4 self portraits in less than 10 minutes? In this Draw Tip Tuesday, I share a playful exercise inspired by a book by Selwyn Leamy. All you need is a mirror, a timer, and your favorite drawing tool. The challenge is to draw your face 4 times, each time using fewer lines. You'll notice how much you can leave out while still capturing expression and resemblance. It is a great way to see what is really important in a drawing while keeping it fun and pressure-free. Materials I used in this video: - Handbook journal 8.25" x 5.5" - Pentel Pocket Brushpen Mentioned in this video: - The Figure: Drawing People in Action by Selwyn Leamy (library copy) - Life is Better When You Draw It by Koosje Koene Get a copy of my book "Life is better when you draw it": https://www.koosjekoene.com/book JOIN ME ON PATREON Help me keep making these videos weekly for free.
