there never seems to be enough of that, time that is. i've started with little things, like doing cross-hatching and lines on the lists of work i have to do, after each item is done it's cross-hatched out. at least that way i'm getting my hand and brain to get reaccustomed to using a pen or pencil for something other than writing.

it's been so long i've no idea where my pencils or drawing pens are, i know where the paints are but want to start with the drawing practice first.

the book i use is great, each page is a group of exercises, masterworks he's copied and turned into, in the beginning, sketches. i think he wants the reader to likewise find things to sketch but i find copying his sketches works well for me. last time i quit was right after doing the last supper, an interesting challenge that worked out pretty well except for jesus' face which for some reason i couldn't get quite right...;(
