Draw from life

As the objects are moving, I have to sketch very fast, but sketching fast normally results in a better picture -- more accurate. I think the hesitation will block the brains flow to function.

It is interesting to note that I've developed my own technique to sketch. I use a fountain pen with solute ink, and a brush that can be filled with clean water.  When I use the brush with clean water to wipe the lines, shadings are generated.
