I belong to an inspiring social image collection site called ffffound and I’ve grown tired of looking at piles of amazing shit and every day saying to myself “Why can’t I make that?”

So instead of answering with a guilty huff I’m attempting, as an exercise, to recreate a ffffound piece in 5 minutes each day. I spent around 12 minutes on this, and tried not to look back at the piece that often. Actually getting it down to 5 is going to be fun and tough.

The idea isn’t to plagiarize or idolize any specific artist through mimicry. It’s practice. It’s gesture drawing. I need to get it down to just 5 minutes, and not worry about how it looks.

Original on top, my gesture on the bottom.
