I have no discipline or system with anything. Do you? I like the feeling of slow progression towards likeness or a click or realisation of something in your imagination, switching from viewer to maker continually, teasing out the least shit bits and building

im not sure i have a system, but there's certain things i like and i've learned over the last 5 or so years that i've been drawing more regularly. i like to work quickly and i think the best things i do, i've done quick. so i tend not to spend too long on things, if i do, they tend to feel overworked. a large part of me getting back into drawing was just doing it, without thinking so much. also i try to react to things aroundme, i suppose you could call that my system maybe, like i just spilt some ribena on the kitchen table top and the pattern looked nice so i drew it. and i catch the odd bit of things people are saying or that are in a film or a song and throw them in as dialogue. years ago, i did sketches of people in the pub and at gigs and gave them dialogue, but i've stopped doing observational stuff so much now, especially of people. i dunno, it suddenly feels too invasive, i've no idea why.

I’m rushing it because I’m not patient enough and don’t know how to do it. It’s such a slow satisfying thing to draw but I never do it unless someone else gets me into it. It was my play as a child, my mum would just roll out a massive sheet and I’d lie on it and draw. Puts me into a very relaxed state when I do it. But why would I do good things like draw and meditate when I can drink and go on the internet

My main ambition during my imprisonment is to learn to slow down and do things properly. I've always thought drawing is a very good tool for teaching that. I think everyone here should draw a self portrait tonight

I have actually drawn a nude self portrait in one of my old notebooks but no way am I showing it here

Can't go trying to find it now, too much. But I've done a couple of studies just now for 'the erotic straw man society'
