Bullish

My daily drawings continue on. I haven't skipped out on any drawing opportunities at work - and I feel like I've had more confidence to experiment with more gestural pieces. The theory behind these drawings is I can keep adding lines and color until I arrive at something that captures the spirit and energy of the reference material.

The resulting sketch is chaotic and crazy in a way that really reflects the scene. Thinking about the process and the result, I can see why it's incredibly difficult to emulate some artist's styles.

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.

Ferret

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!
