  Two steps forward, one step back...

  ... Seems like this is the only path to mastery. Nothing works for days. Then you get a glimpse of hope, one good drawing, perhaps two... and you're back to frustrationville. Rinse and repeat.

  Weekly practice

  To be honest, I had a couple of busy weeks... Meaning, I didn't get the chance to do much drawing and painting practice. All I had time for was a few master studies in charcoal:
