That's what my arty cousin said to me this morning. She's also told me a I have to work bigger. So I've dragged out a wedge of A2 cartridge paper and set to it on the kitchen table. I worked on the same image in ink - "Steph, your hand is way too stiff, draw with the whole arm, yeah that's better already see", in marker pen - "Yeah, that's betteer see, are you drawing that upside down cos it works", and finally in charcoal - at which point I was shouting for her to come in and look at what I was doing because I was getting QUITE EXCITED AT THIS POINT.
