A Pile and a Possible Elk

I am attempting some different subjects and different working methods in my daily drawings. I wouldn't say that this project is getting stale - but I think I can use it as an opportunity to do new things and venture out a bit. The elk/deer is based on a statue across the street from where I work. I didn't have a copper color on me, so I challenged myself to use the blue and yellow I had on hand. I had no idea what I was doing - but there is something fun about that.

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.
