How I did it: Looked up on the internet for a life-drawing class, and went along. 

I was a bit surprised when the class started with lots of 1-minute poses.  That part reminded me a bit of sitting maths exams at university and having to race against the clock.  However, it did break down inhibitions I suppose.  I forgot all about trying to make a picture and just concentrated on drawing as quickly as I could for a while.

Then when we got to the 15 minute poses I didn't know what to do with the time, but I figured it out, started adding colour, taking my time, etc.

At the end of the day, I have a few nice drawings to put up on my wall.  I think I practised drawing more in the five hour class than I have in the last few weeks.

I'll definitely go again.
