Sketches and studies

When I am doing the longer pieces I break it up doing some sketches and doodles and short studies .  I know I should be doing more of this but day work makes it really difficult to just do some loose stuff and I have wanted to do more finished work.  May try and flip those priorities  for a while.

This was the next lesson of Suzanne Helmighs  following on from the skulls. To be honest I would need a lot more practice at this but I can see how this would be really useful.
