Think of 5 minutes drawings as quick notes – gather them on a spread of your sketch book building the composition as you go along. You’ll find you are faster and more confident when you start a ‘proper’ drawing. You learn drawing or painting through practice. Quick 5 minute sketches might not impress people as much (although you’ll find that often they do), but they are great to hone your drawing skills. It is nice to have a sketchbook full of lovely finished spreads, but sketchbooks are also great to play, experiment and get messy. 5 minutes family sketch – everyone is moving faster than my pen! The value of 5 minutes sketches
Quick value study of the view from our caravan while camping (see unfinished chap in glasses in the mountains). You dream of the sketch you’d done if you’d got stuck in! A few sketches on the same spread. Thirty minutes later you’re still waiting. The doctor will call you for your appointment shortly, or your train will be there any time. There’s no time to crack your sketchbook open.
Twenty minutes sketches turns into a 5 minutes sketches. You settle for a sketch and things don’t go to plan. People move, it starts raining, someone stops for a chat.
