Caterpillar

Not a whole lot to say here. I worked on each segment individually - attempting properly (and smoothly) blend color to the outside edges. I think I was mostly successful on that part - it wasn't until I began adding black that everything sort of went...wrong. The black pattern is fairly accurate, but it sort of eliminates all of the work I did to establish the round forms of each segment. It is flat.

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.
