Try Doug Cocker on TRACEY in sketchbook examples.
He states ...
I like the idea of drawing as reward.......ie the drawing
process is efficacious for me precisely because, within my
practice, its the complete opposite to the trials of
making. There are aspects inegral to drawing sessions
which play little part in the making of
sculpture..........spontaneity, irrationality, speed of
production,self indulgence, unconcern for" accuracy ",
"rightness" or notions of resolution............For me the
two activities are interdependent though quite different.
