Description
I sometimes find myself spending time analyzing instead of drawing, then quickly realizing an approach, but not having the time to finish the figure, even though I'm seeing how to do it, quickly. So, the actual drawing is fast and loose, but I still lose time looking for the "design" of the whole. Tricky business, drawing. More psychology to it than one might think. That's why it's good to have a plan, to establish an approach, use a method - at least at the beginning. In fact, explore and develop as many as possible. But after that comes a time when method is boredom. One wants to go deeper into the experience. And that's when he abandons method - well, to the extent that it's possible to abandon something that's ingrained in one. Haha. It's not so much abandoning methods, as abandoning conscious control of them. The result at first looks chaotic, but gradually shows haphazard synthesis- a chaotic compilation of different methods thrust together. My guess is that over time this becomes refined into yet another method, if entirely unconscious, or at least apparently so.
