99. Shades of a shade

(05-07-2011. Today I used no lines to delineate, just shadows.  It turned out pretty cool, I think, aside from the fact that toward the end my hand was getting a tad tired.)  :)

98. Sleepyhead

(05-06-2011. Poor guy was so sleepy this morning on the train.  He kept moving, couldn't get comfy.  But then who could with a briefcase as a pillow?!)

97. It's a boy!

(05-05-2011. A male figure this time.  Not nearly as curvy, so it's a bit harder to keep the proportions on.  I was drawing and forgot where to put the elbow. heh.  I tried a yellow to make an incandescent like yellow glow on him.  I'm on the fence about that.  One thing is for sure...either I need to get a bigger sketchbook, or accept that if I do heads that small...picture the size of a Ken Doll, then the face is going to become a bit of a mess with the shadow in there.  A little harder to interpret.)

Something new...

(05-04-2011. Today's sketch went a bit wonky.  But remember the mantra..."Love the Line". I added in this really cool water soluble pencils that I found yesterday.  They're called "Inktense".  The ink that I used wasn't waterfast, so it bled some with the water I used on the pencil.  Pretty cool.)  :)

95. Sketchy sketch sketch

(05-03-2011. A return to non-scribbly.  I like to practice it all, so I can have fun with it all...and not lose what I have gained by practice.)  :)

And for you... some flowers.  Yay, spring!!

94. The back of his head.

(05-02-2011. I finished the back of the elderly gent's head.  But not the lady.  She got off the train one stop too early.  So she looks a bit of a hot mess.  Ah well... practice.)  :)

93. Seated

(05-01-2011. Sketching out of a book of poses that I have for the human form today.  I decided to try to go without the clothes to see if I could do it without failing.  Not too bad for not drawing a nude since college.)
