Stop.Draw.Run

The other day I was uploading some work to flickr when I got sidetracked and started sorting through some of my groups. I was in so many groups on flickr that it was becoming unwieldy, and many of them didn’t even apply to me any longer. In the process, I (re)discovered Stop.Draw.Run, which I joined months ago but never participated in until now. The whole point is to sketch for ten minutes and then stop. Now that I am placing a higher priority on sketching, I thought that it would be the perfect group for me, and I already use my timer for sketching.

I have a certain 6 x 6 inch square format sketchbook that is perfect for this activity. It doesn’t have the nicest paper — it is too thin and scratchy for me. But I definitely won’t feel guilty about burning through the pages. Here are some sketches I made yesterday (each about five minutes).
