One of my simplest pleasures is doing life sketches. Preferably from real life but sometimes from photos if something strikes me. To be fair, I don’t like drawings from photographs in general. I totally understand that many need this as a tool or is the only thing available, but I think any chance you can draw from real life is better. And if you do draw from a photograph, thinking about the lens you’re using, and for all that is right, don’t draw from selfies! 🙂
