As I've gotten older I have slowed down and definitely don't get as much done with each drawing as I used to. Some of that is due to my eyes now relying on trifocals and I also seem to get too focused on an area. Well, I think it's time to embrace my failings and turn them (as best I can) into strengths. I decided to focus on a smaller area with little or no regard to the rest of the figure. I laid down some exploratory lines and just left them. I could have done without the neck but I dropped that in last moment and it kind of ruined things. However, a first step to possibly making better drawings rather than trying to cram too much in just for the sake of getting the whole figure in. I used to do a lot more of these small, focused sketches but now I think I need to. Just a fact of life.
