Although I always enjoy spending a half-hour or more
on a carefully observed sketch of a composition or subject that engages me, sometimes
I don’t have either the time or the inclination. Often I’m just in the mood to
spend no more than five or ten minutes on a quick notation. They are satisfying
in a different way.
Each sketch individually is nothing special, either in
content or execution, but I believe I have gained skills from the sheer number
of sketches that accumulate over the years. Chief among them is the ability to
sketch quickly when I want to. Another is the appreciation for process over
product; quantity over quality. Each few minutes seems like nothing, but after
a while, they add up to something.
Field Notes Brand seems to agree. . . the maker of my favorite pocket-size sketchbooks recently featured my sketches on Instagram!
