Maudlin

I did a lot of drawing today. All of my recent drawings have been a record of the places I've been and things I have seen. Unfortunately, today I saw dead Jay on my front porch. I'm not sure why I was compelled to draw this scene, to take it all in. A lot of different thoughts kept running through my mind - I'm having trouble untangling them all right now.

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.
