A little drawing to get started

It's just the discipline and the observation of life .It all goes in to the brain and stored .I find my brain doesn't store it forever so if I am going to paint I'll need to get started as soon as possible without the drawing and just use it for the occasional reference. You need life in your painting not adherenc3vto drawing or a photo for that matter.  
Drawing builds confidence and the more I practice the more aI enjoy it .
