Markup

This time I wanted to try saturating the paper with water and working with the chaos of diffusing color. The result is pretty strange. The paper I use doesn't really hold up to the stress of water all that well. My final experiment with this technique was to combine it with solid lines (black flair-tip marker). I always liked the contrast between diffused color and solid line; though I'm not too sure I really succeeded this time. Those eyes are huge.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
