Step one: Linear Journey

Stating with something Broken....such as a Comb all twisted and bent.

Draw the object on a piece of A3 using a black pen and the blind contour method. Take no more than 7 minutes.

Next, draw it as a continuous line drawing never taking your pen off the page. Take 7 minutes to complete.

Set up a second broken object, near to the first on a coloured square of paper. Go on to draw the second object, on the same page, beginning from the point at which you finished the first. once gain use the continuous line method and take no longer than 7 minutes to finish.

Next find nine objects which contain different examples of line; physical or graphic.

Draw each as faithfully as possible, using colour as well as the same black pen. Spend one and a half hours on this part of the exercise.

Staring on a fresh page.

Take elements and inspiration from the previous drawings, continue on to draw and/or paint a new object. Let the new object appear naturally without attempting to take too much control over the outcome.

Continue on to Step Two.
