Concept Art in Motion

Chaz Kemp prompts attendees with ideas to draw, getting 15 minutes to draw whatever comes to mind. "I make sure to point out that there is no judging from me and they don't even have to show the art to anyone. It's for the pure pleasure of drawing in a judgement free environment. Once the 15 minutes is up, I give them a different concept to draw."
