Welcome to my drawing blog!

I draw mainly with charcoal on very large paper. I prefer poses that last less than 15 minutes, because it forces me to draw very quickly. The faster I draw, the less I try to think may way to a good drawing. If I draw extremely fast, I enter a "drawing trance" and I stop thinking. At that point, I just draw. You could say I'm in the zone or the process just flows..whatever you call it, I find its the only way for me to draw well. There is a sense of fusion of subject and object. As in mediatation, oneness is briefly achieved (or perhaps realized is a better way to say it) and I momentarily find a peaceful place to rest from the incessant chatter of thinking.
