I find the link between drawing and painting for me is in direct mark making. I like to use confident strokes, so with a brush of some width this lends itself to filling in value and color in broad strokes. However, with a .5 mm mechanical pencil tip I find this type of mark making lends itself to lines and details. Maybe I'll try using more graphite sticks as I usually do when I attend figure drawing sessions, though I worry what kind of mess I might make of the coffee shop where I draw. Thanks for the comment Johan, it's a good reminder!
