Figure Drawing Sunday 9/11/16

I am beginning to get a better grasp on my personal style. Lines are an important element in my work. I shouldn't find that too surprising since cartooning was what got me into art in the first place. I am trying to step away from contour lines as much as possible, but in twenty minutes I just cannot seem to build tone as quickly as I can draw lines.

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!

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.
