An everyday drawing field guide

Start with what you can see.

Choose an ordinary subject. Find its frame. Draw the shapes that are really there.

Find a subject

Ordinary things become useful drawing subjects when you slow down.

Use a viewfinder and a few lines to decide what belongs.

Start with relationships before texture or detail.

Keep honest notes about what changed and what remains uncertain.

Try a crop, then write one specific thing you want to observe.
