I find out so much by drawing the same scene several times. It’s something I do when I’m feeling stuck. Instead of trying to think my way through the story, I draw the characters again in the same way. The drawing is already figured out so my task is uncomplicated. I just need to copy it, draw the same scene again. The kind of thinking I do when I’m copying a painting is the kind of thinking I need for the story which seems to deepen on it’s own when I do this. These are drawings I made to help me with a book I’ve been working on for a very long time. Brush and ink on old file folders.
