So there's an awesome art website that has some great practice tools and it marks your progress and stuff.
Anyway, did these using the practice tools. It times each sketch
Each of these were 5 minutes. (the middle one was probably about 5 mins and maybe 30 seconds)
I'd like to think I did okay. I did one more, but I forgot to save it.
I will definitely be using this tool (or at least this method) in the future to practice.
This was fun.
also, I decidedly do not like to crosshatch. I'm much more comfortable painting. (It took way less time!)
