These life drawing experiences really encouraged expression and freedom in our work. By creating restrictions such as left handed drawing, drawing with both hands, and not taking the pen off the page, pushed me out of my comfort zone and really freed up my drawing style. The results of these restrictions taught us about how we could improve our regular sketching styles, by encouraging focus and taking risks.
