Drawing Techniques- timed drawings

A great way to change the way you see things and draw is to do timed drawings.  Warm up with 30 second drawings to get the flow, idea of the object/ person down.  After a few of those do 1 minute, working your way up to 5 and 10 minute drawings. You can even mix it up- do a 1 minute drawing then a 15 second, 30 second drawing.  These are also great for group and class settings.
