Jane LaFazio's Tips for Sketching in Your Art Journal
• Plan on spending less than an hour to sketch and then paint your drawing.
• Select something with a simple shape.
• Draw what you like, not what you think others will like. (Tweet this!)
• Draw in pencil first, you can always erase.
• Draw from real life (not photos). Your drawings will be so much richer.
• Choose just one thing: One flower, one leaf, one cup.
• When you're just starting out, it's easier to depict something about the same size as your page. Then you won't have to think about enlarging or reducing it as you draw.
• Remember, it's only a page in your journal; not every page will be a masterpiece.
• Turn the page when you're finished with your drawing, and plan on doing another page tomorrow. ~Jane
