Once in a while I believe it’s an excellent idea to draw strictly from your mind, looking at nothing as reference material. For me, this helps me to free my mind to think more creatively. Good music helps. While many times the drawings that emerge from these sessions are not technically as correct as drawings from life or reference photos, they exhibit a spontaneity and freshness that sometimes the more carefully planned works lack. I never plan what I will draw during these times; there is an excitement to just letting it flow out on paper. Oftentimes what I am listening to will have a direct connection to what comes out in my sketchbook.
