Drawing Practise - Questions for your Sketchbooks - Emma Carlisle Talk



I listened to a talk by Emma Carlisle, part of my Patreon subscription, which was titled "Questions for your Sketchbook"; a super inspiring talk to question the way you see your drawing practise, and how you can focus on the areas you want to improve. Emma talks about breaking this down into specific questions, rather than saying "I want to be better", you instead focus on specifics; eg composition, on tone, on colour etc. 

You can take that question into a drawing session and really zone in on where you want to improve, so you come out of a session having thought about that it is you want to work on. It was a very "think whilst you draw" inspired talk. Emma talks about how fluid this can be, and to listen to listen to your self and your work.

I have come away from this talk thinking about my work differently, because of course I want to improve, but now I want to think about those specific areas I do want to work on, and incredibly make changes.
