You Can Sketch -- Lesson 1

These doodles came from Jackie Simmonds's You Can Sketch: A Step-By-Step Guide for Absolute Beginners.

Because I have trouble with shadowing, I figure that sketching should be the first thing for me to work on.

I, however, don't have the patience with basic drawing.

So I told myself: OK, you can be sloppy with the boring exercises, but you have to do them. And this is the result. Not too hard to tell which are the boring ones, huh?

Media: pencils, colored pencils, watercolor pencil.
