Lecture Class Exercise (Sketching whilst Listening to Music)

Sketching is a way of thinking.
No two people in the world handle a pencil the same way. Moreover, no two people in the world think the same. As we know what we draw is also influenced by our mind whether we notice it or not. Some may prefer drawing fully anatomical human figures because they are interested in showing details. Others may prefer drawing animated characters because emotions are easily conveyed. Perhaps what most people fail to understand about sketching is to draw what you see in your way. Not to exactly rules and terms. As long as the artist understands what they are drawing, it means the sketching already serves a purpose.

Sketching above was done using random hatched lines. In the artwork, the way the artist created the line was through fast and random hatching lines yet the details are very obvious. The music ambience during the lecture sketching really gave some sort of energy to continue the skethching. However due to time constraints, the sketching could not be completed.
