drawing exercise

My mother has, or had, a drawing I made when I was two-and-a-half years old or so. It was a drawing of her. So I’ve been doing figure drawing for more than 63 years. I still cannot draw consistently well.

So I still need drawing exercise. This one is an exercise in patience and visialization. I didn’t allow myself to use a model or photo source, although I did take a peek at my drawing hand–and the drawing-hand part of the drawing is a botched disaster.

Total drawing time was about six hours, far longer than I normally spend on a given drawing. I hope to be doing this more, soon.
