The way to get better at drawing and or painting is to do it often. One of the exercises I love is to draw on a board with soft charcoal. It's a lot like painting. The #charcoaldrawing you see to the left is on a board on my easel.

I use a large soft charcoal stick so I don't get lost in smaller details. The goal here is to get a likeness of my subject as quickly and accurately as I can. Since this is soft charcoal with one wipe of a cloth wipe it away, take a picture and clear the board for another exercise.

The top is on that same board. The bottom three however are all on paper. I can not begin to tell you how many art pads I have full of drawings like these. Perhaps I will show a few of them one day. :)
