Bad drawing #2

I have an internet friend who quoted someone who said something to the effect that we have 500 bad drawings in us -- so start working them out. As I've taken up trying to learn watercolor illustration I've discovered those 500 bad drawings inside me, and I'm definitely getting them out of my system! This one is an example. Just a simple little white cream pitcher and I can't quite get the elipse right on it.
I was trying to draw with the brush instead of doing my usual preliminary pencil sketch, and I found a definite struggle with control. I'm so used to the pencil and the eraser - ha! - control freak!
Maybe I should start doing the blind contour Friday thing that I've seen others doing so that I can start loosening up -- which, of course is what I'm always telling my students to do....
