The Habit of Drawing: Fast and Slow

By Tom McPherson

The Habit of Drawing: Fast and Slow is a calm, practical guide to building the mindset, habits, and skills that turn observation into drawing. At its heart is a simple truth: drawing is a habit, not a talent. Through gentle reflections and clear instruction, artist Tom McPherson, founder of Circle Line Art School, shows how the energy of fast drawing and the focus of slow observation work together to unlock creativity.

This book encourages readers to draw not only what they see, but also how they think and feel. Combining mindful practice with creative freedom, it offers a clear path to developing confidence, overcoming blocks, and rediscovering the simple joy of making art, one line at a time.
