DRAWING PROJECT 001 (for developing concentration and dexterity)
Materials

  Large sheet of paper
  sharpened #4B Artist Drawing Pencil
  An Erasure

On the floor or an adequately sized work table or desk lay out your
sheet of paper.
With your left hand (if your right handed or with your right of your
left handed) take up the sharpened pencil
In your other hand (hoping that you have two) take up the erasure.
Begin drawing a line on the paper and as you do so begin erasing the
line the best you can simultaneously
Continue until pencil lead requires resharpening.
Resharpen pencil
Repeat as needed up to 30 minutes daily as a warm up until able to do

Possible things to do with the drawings once you have mastered the
technique.
