A New Year

I filled an entire sketchbook with my daily drawings. I tried a Halloween-themed drawing-a-day project. I made the most of (forced) time away from my little office. Of course, I also slacked off quite a bit during the holiday.

Today marks my return to daily posting. This discarded and torn Chinese food takeout box is my first drawing of the new year. I am putting together the final details for my next daily project - which I hope to start soon. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

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.
