We are composing our drawings, working in different sizes (debts) of figures.
We also consider our choice of media depending the outfit and textures of fabrics.

It is good to practice fast sketches w/o an under-drawing. We switch hands, to warm up and do many short ones. We describe everything with line, contour style. That way we work on our line quality.
