Works in progress

Steve is growing a beard!

Our class has gone on to drawing animals and nature this week, but I can't let go of the portraits --- so here are a few more works in progress. The one of Steve is really a work in progress, as he sent me a photo on his cell phone that he is attempting to grow a beard.

Really proud of this . And yes, my nose is that crooked!

A week of practice

I really think I have improved this week ... and am hoping to practice even more.

Can't get Mike to let me draw him but maybe tonight while he is watching tv ...

Eggheads and pinkheads

This exercise really helped me with shading a head --- first I did an egg and shaded it, then added features. I think my third attempt shows promise and after about 100 more, I will be much improved!

 The next project was supposed to use a stabilo pencil. I don't have one ... nor do I even know what they are!

So I used a watercolor pencil and a mister, and here you can see how that went for me!
