Would you believe me if I told you I can retain information better during meetings if I sketch? Me either. I can say that my adherence to the social code won't allow me to completely space out and get lost in a sketch during a meeting.

This is a doodle. It wasn't my best, most challenging drawing today (I managed to get in a pretty complicated pose and a portrait as well), but it's the first time I've sat down and created something without a reference in a while. I am creatively charged, I just need to direct that energy toward something.

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.
