Centerpiece and Fire

There was a fire at my house recently. I'm typing this post from a makeshift computer desk in the hotel I'm staying at. So the updates can now continue.

I'm happy to say I never stopped my daily drawings. Some drawings looked better than other drawings, of course. I'm beginning to notice some improvements here and there. When I create something that I view as less than successful, I ask myself what could be improved.

The above piece took a couple hours to put together. It is based on some fake flowers from a centerpiece in the dining room of this hotel. I can't wait to get back to my art room at home, but this unexpected trip has given me some new sights and experiences to look forward to.

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.
