Tried sampling different patterns from around the house.

I’ve lost my confidence and am struggling for time. I just don’t feel like drawing and somehow I can’t see the point. I don’t know what’s happened. The impetus I’ve had so far this year has drained. I’m trying something very easy to get going again.

Trying different ways to contrast line and shade (side of the pencil).

Really struggling for time so just a doodle today.

The perspective is wrong on this one. I’ll have another go next week because the bridge is next to the horse riding place. I’ll have another half an hour to kill.

I tried to use the contrasts, and have some blank areas and some with close texture. I was running out of time so near the bottom I went into loose squibbles. This is worth experimenting with because it’s time-consuming drawing every leaf, even if I only do it in a few areas.

Doodles experimenting with ways to contrast thin lines with thick lines or shading with the edge of the pencil.

I started doodling ways that you could include contrast of line frequency.
