Question: How many artists does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer: Two. One to change the bulb, and one to say "I could do that!" When I learned about the original daily painting blogger, Duane Keiser, I thought, "I could do that!" My thanks to Duane and the other leaders in the Painting-A-Day movement.

Tons of great stuff lately! I particularly like this one for some reason. It's an interesting & challenging angle that you've captured really well.
Thanks, Scott. I've hit a stage where it's getting a little easier. The challenging angles, twists and turns are more interesting than "front and center", but it's easier to make mistakes with construction, symmetry, and perspective when drawing them. I think I would advise a student (that's all of us) to get a lot of mileage under his belt with easier views first, before doing the harder views. But sooner or later you've got to tackle the harder ones.
One thing I've been doing lately is drawing smaller; around 4 inches instead of 7 or 8. There's still enough room to get in there with a pencil and render the form... not quite as refined, but it's a little faster. Seems to work for me.
