Placing bets-- six months or a mile?

Recently read Ian McCaig's Shadowline-- gorgeous work, and a fantastic new perspective on art books. In one section he addresses an imaginary classroom and asserts that anyone can get their drawing skills up to snuff-- "it'll take about six months and a mile of paper", but you can do it. I figure, being the half-scientist that I am, that keeping track of my own progress this way might prove enlightening.

So, I'll be including my 'distance' traveled in future blog posts. For now, another round of sketching-- this time, ladies' hats from Ye Olde Fashion.

Dead things make everything better!
