started reading "Quick Sketching with Ron Husband"
It's interesting but I am concentrating on Kistler and Loomis books right now.
I will put it on a future list to study.

I find this more difficult than Mark Kistler's book and I don't know why but I am trusting the process of practicing.

These pictures were taken with iphone within a week of being drawn.
It's winter here so just been taking pictures indoor using light from window.
This online blog is a record of my sketchbooks. I have little space for storage so cannot keep all my sketches.

I really like how he explains things. This is definitely a good book to buy.
I can't wait for the next lesson.

This book is very relaxing and entertaining.

Winter is here. Very difficult to take photos of drawings outside.

This is pretty much fun. Although it takes me longer than 20 minutes per lesson.
