A 365 day lesson in learning to loosen up, to forget being "perfect", and to learn to love the line... My half hour journey to enlightenment via the train and its passengers.

Karen and Nancy
(11-25-2011. I cheated. I'll readily admit. To sketch Karen and Nancy I pulled out my 11x14 inch sketch pad. I knew if I tried to do it in my 8x10 I'd never have had enough room for my favorite marker without making them smudges. I also admit I took my pencil and drew two ovals and a few lines to keep their eyes, noses, and mouths on the correct tangent, since drawing things on an angle seems to be a weak spot of mine. I wind up making them off. But you know what they say...practice practice practice. I took a photo of this to upload to my blog, but decided that there was something sorta flat about Nancy... she needed some shading to make her more three dimensional, but I didn't want to do a really heavy shading. So I compromised. I think it's not too bad...) :)
