Kneeling Man in charcoal

Tonight's practice is a kneeling man in charcoal and white chalk done on tan paper.  More tomorrow practice, practice, practice.

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.

Charcoal sketch Women's Head

So, I am back from a long run of work and stuff.  I have been missing my artwork.  This is a sketch done in charcoal.  I have been needing to get some more drawing time, so I have started with this one.

Cast Sketch

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.

Happy Early Birthday to my Sister

Happy Early Birthday to my Sister, Michelle.  She has three Pugs and this is one, Pippa.  I have been traveling and busy at the regular job, so few posts.  I will work on fixing that i  the coming days.  This is a colored pencil and ink pen card.
