Downward Face sketch

Not all work is as successful as one would like.  This is an okay copy of a sketch but I was not completely happy with it.  It is necessary to make many attempts and trys at a task before one has a big breakthrough and something which is closer to what one wants.  Everything is progress even when it does not seem to be.

Head profile sketch

More practice with a Conte crayon, this is a profile sketch and a small nose study.

Fabric Fold study

This is a colored pencil study of folds in clothing.  This is a copy of a Degas study of a long dress or toga like clothing.  So Happy Friday, I am still working towards mastery and ever little piece is a step towards it.

More work on basics, this is a pencil sketch of a cast portrait.  This is part of the practice and what is necessary to get better at drawing.  It is a decent start butmore work is needed.
