One of the first drawing exercises my visual foundations instructor had me do many many years ago at my brief stint in art school was to draw random objects up close. To really crop into an object. Years later I still practice this and I recommend this exercise for anyone who works visually. It forces you to observe what you are looking at, to look at shapes, shade, and details.
Here’s a largish drawing I worked on awhile ago of embroidery string, slightly unraveled and very up close.

That’s wonderful.
Thanks 🙂
You’re welcome. I wish I was more of a visual artist. You’re very talented.
Thank-you! I wish I could be a better writer. I often have to write about my work for submissions and events. I find it very tricky!
(-: I suppose people always want what they don’t have. Thank you so much for following my blog! If you’d ever like any writing advice, I’d be happy to try to assist. I’ve taken a few classes.
Thank-you, that’s very kind:)
Anytime. (-:
Thank you for the tip! Hope it will make me a better artist 😊
Glad you liked it. Thanks:)
