A Rainbow

There are so many bushes, flowers and trees around the places I now inhabit - every time I think I've found them all, a new one suddenly appears. Each new plant features endless combinations of leaf shapes, colors, textures and sizes. This particular bush caught my eye with its bands of multi-colored leaves.

There are a lot of plants left to draw, but I think I need to expand into other subject matter before things become a little too stale.

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.
