So that's what you think of me!

So, this is what I look like to the students of Hereford College of Art. As part of an Idea Generation lecture yesterday, the students had to draw me in about a minute. The exercise was borrowed from Bob McKim, but with the twist of drawing me rather than each other. The same outcome though, apologies and embarrassment. 
Ok, if any of you check out the blog I would just repeat my comments of yesterday. Do not be affraid to go for it, having looked at them all, too many did small drawings in the top left hand corner when you had the whole page to use. Be bold, be confident, be proud. Try not to get caught up in the detail at the beginning. Practice it occasionally by doing the same exercise, and choosing anything to draw. Even use an A3 sheet of paper, oooh!
Seriously though, it was a good day. Hope you found it helpful. See you next week.
