The style of sketching I want to do is different from this style, wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it but I think I'm gonna try some of the illistrations and see how I can do with it. There are so many methods/styles of sketching. Really you have to find what works for you.. .

I found this book to be most helpful, I studied art many years ago and having retired returned to portraiture, this has been an excellent book to help me to grasp the basic principles

Love the whole series.
