Golf and Exquisite Corpses

I have been having some difficulty finding really interesting poses and faces in the magazines I have access to. Fashion magazines feature models with expressionless faces - their "perfect" bodies standing straight with their arms at their sides. A magazine featuring golfers though, that's what I call interesting. Golfers are always in interesting poses with looks of passion and concentration on their faces. They aren't always beautiful 20-somethings - more often they are experienced middle-aged people with wrinkles and scars.

I used graphite sticks today. I think there is something worth exploring here.

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.
