Slip

I would have opted not to post this at all, but I think it is kind of important. This is how my work looks when I get careless. I wasn't painting in the right mindset, and the result is...not pleasant. Sometimes I sit down and forget everything I've learned. Sometimes the paint doesn't mix or dry correctly. Sometimes I just cannot think of one specific thing to paint.
I will not be calling this an official post. There are different ways to approach the same subject with a little more finesse and subtlety. There is something to be learned from this whole experience; and I have the rest of the evening to figure out what that is.

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.

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!
