Moving and Not Stopping

Though I have been away from the blog for a bit - I have continued to draw as usual. Life once again brings changes - moving to a new place and looking for work there. I will use this time to reflect on all of the things I learned this year and see where that can take me in the future.

Today's drawing started as an attempt to draw with one, continuous line. Eventually, I broke away from that plan to try more overlapping lines. The likeness is almost there, but the sense of movement is exactly what I try to achieve with my drawings.

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.
