So, this was the challenge I set up for myself. Start with a warm-up. Warm up is using graphite on 24×36” paper. Warm up is drawing with my whole arms (a graphite stick in each hand) making as many different kinds of marks as I can, but without a plan. Just moving.

Part two: using an eraser only, pull out a self-portrait. No adding any more lines. And do it ten times.

Part three: after 10 times I allowed myself to add in more lines. Still thinking about it. hmmmmm.
