One other tip: Hold your pencil at it's distant end from the lead, if possible add a pencil extender, this will make you use more energetic lines instead of fussing in details with a tight grip up close.

Sunday Sketching at Tower Grove Park
I have learned
that it is best not to blend when sketching in pencil sometimes. It gives an unclarity if you do. It is best to put the lines down and let them be untouched with minimal erasing into with a gum eraser perhaps. This gives your lines strength clarity and purpose.

Streetside Figure Drawing
"It's Friday in the Central West End and we will take figure drawing to the streets!
Join us at 4742 MacPherson where we will draw the beautiful Stephanie as she poses (costumed) right there on the sidewalk in the heady, urban flow of people, music, street performers, food, drink and Art. Your setup should be small and portable. If it rains, we'll work in the nearby West End Antiques Gallery.
This gathering is free. And the last time we did it, it was a blast!"
