At nine in the morning, I sit down at the drawing table with nothing but iced water and begin to work. Before I start, I always press the stopwatch.
It is a little device that can keep counting for one hundred hours, which makes it useful for checking whether I spent more time drawing this week than I did the week before.
I also seem to have a peculiar ability: even after drawing for ten hours straight, my hand does not feel the slightest ache. Music, of course, is essential. Lately, I have been listening to a great deal of L'Impératrice.
