start at the top and work down
progressively employing
techniques that will impart
the greatest effect with
economy of means. Once the
timed session starts, I am
keyed up a notch and my mind

drawing issues and making
lightening-quick decisions.
There is a rush when things
are going well with ease and
it seems as if the drawing
were drawing itself. However,
