It has been to long since my last update. The last couple of weeks a have tried to sketch at least 5 minutes every day. Although I have only sketched 5 minutes 4 days a week. Which is still pretty good compared to before.
My awesome friend gave me a awesome tip to a site where you can train your sketching abilities: http://www.posemaniacs.com/.
Among other things they give tips on how to draw fast and have pictures of humans i different poses. So this is what I have been training with the last couple of weeks. In the method I have been using they show a pose for 30 seconds and then they switch to another pose so you have to be quick. I am still pretty slow so I always skip the hands and feet. And for some reason it is always easier for me to draw women than men. It could be because I get distracted by all the manly muscles on the model. But hey, I am a straight young woman after all so things like this are out of my control.
I have now been practising for 4 weeks and I think I see a tiny, tiny improvement so far. Anyway here are some random pictures from my sketchbook from the last weeks. I hope that the next time I update the sketches will be better.
PS. Who is the lord of power? ANDNING! During one of my Taido lessons we learned that breathing in only through the left nostril makes you use the right half of the brain more and the other way around. And since you mostly use the right part of your brain while drawing I tried this trick and it actually made me sketch better. Sadly I can't remember which pictures a draw before and after this trick anymore so I can't show you.

I think you're on to something there! The pictures of great, I like no. 10!
I can't understand how you can only breath through one nostril? :S
Thank you :). I myself prefer no. 12.
Lol, you cover the other nostril. And I didn't do it while I was drawing but before. Cover the nostril, breath in hold it for a second and breath out through your mouth. Then repeat a couple of times. That is what they taught us.
I see I see! I thought that you only breathed through one nostril while you're drawing. It makes more sense that you do it before! Maybe I should draw now, cause I only can breathe through one nostril due to the hayfever :D
