Escher on Daily Practice

While in the library this morning I picked up a large book about Maurits Cornelis Escher’s drawings. I’m sure you’ve seen the images before. A good example is the drawing above. I had a quick read of the biography at the beginning of the book and learnt Escher kept a visual diary. He believed the daily practice of drawing would improve his skills. I think he might’ve been on to something.

Do you draw daily? Try to just sketch a little if you have the desire to draw. I’m sure not all of us can hope to be as good as Escher, but even he believed in daily practice. I’ve shared how I drew my hand when I was drawing regularly, so look out for my images tomorrow. Please leave any comments in the section below.
