Drawing from observation

Contour line, silhouette
facet blindly drawn
fingers grip over
thumb and pointer
only

elbow-wing –
free expression
a pen follows eyes –
my first lesson

we try outline –
no sketch
with Sharpie marker
prolonged line
no peeking –
cover the page

next - pencil 4B
softly arranged
for sensitive touch,
no patience – I draw
all details and such
rather fast than slow.
