Livestrong… just not when sketching

Freehand sketching is one of the skills that I have not used very much over the past 15 years. Fortunately, I’m having to take a sophomore level sketching class. It is really helping me work on fundamentals and rediscovering the joy and power of a great sketch.

I’ve been struggling a bit getting my lines to go where I wanted them to. Today I realized that my Livestrong bracelet was dragging on my paper preventing smooth pen/pencil strokes. I switched it to my left hand and immediately noticed a BIG improvement in my line quality. Who would have thought?

PS- Have you heard that Lance is going for number 8? There’s a great interview (warning: link includes nude Lance photo preceding lengthy article) in Vanity Fair detailing his comeback.
