Trying to loosen up

I haven't done any drawing in a long time, and my style of pencil or pen and ink was always very tight and stiff. I'm trying my hand at sketching again, only I'm trying to loosen up my style and not be so uptight about details.

I drew this back in Dec. and just now discovered there is an artist group on DU!

I wish I could draw people. Maybe someday. You're a natural.
