An illistrator tends to draw from his imagination, and may have a hard time drawing from life.

I was a sign painting apprentice in college, (Bible college, not art school) and learned the art of "one stroke" sign painting. It is a term I have come to appreciate. I use it in drawing. Each stroke counts, and hopefully is the final stroke. I will try to upload an example. It is a very simple drawing, but to me is my best. It took about five minutes. You will have a hard time doing this if you trace. I am a diehard believer in line technique. I was trained very strictly this way as a child, and it now affords me a freedom of expression I am very grateful for.
