Blue and Scribbling

I was feeling a bit off when I did this drawing. I had some other things on my mind and I couldn't quite focus on what I was trying to do. That lack of focus lead to me just putting down lines and describing shapes quickly as I came across them. Water was added to make harder edges and bring out the shapes even more. There definitely seems to be something going on here. The nose and eyes have a roundness to them that I didn't expect. A very pleasant surprise.

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.
