92. Me And My Shaaaaaadoooow...

(04-30-2011. Two half hour stints with the blind drawing tonight to try my hand at getting more on track.  Fun, and not too bad.  I had to peek a couple of times to start drawing again when I ran into an end.  And my face seemed to be rather long.  Which amuses me.  Probably because I went in and drew it last.  Hmmm...)

Cowboy

(04-29-2011. Yup.  I got on the train, and there he was.  An honest-to-God cowboy.  Well, as cowboy as a city boy can get.  Falling asleep against his hand, he still did a fair amount of moving around.  Mostly from nodding then having to sit up again.)

90. Cool hat.

(04-28-2011.  Except I never GOT to the hat.  The top of it anyway.  I started drawing people several times, but each time they'd get blocked from view or get off.  Finally I found this guy who was on the longest.  And the hat really WAS styling.)

89. Appearances can be deceiving....

(04-27-2011. This lady was sitting across the aisle from me, quiet, listening to her headphones, not smiling.  And then she saw a man standing in the doorway and a big smile lit up her face.  She got his attention, said "I like your shoes" and at his thank you, went back to her music.)

88. Where's the nose?

(04-26-2011.I had a wonderfully fun time on the trainride home playing "Where's the nose?" I started out drawing his face and partway through he turned away.  I kept watching him as I drew, waiting for him to turn back and show me where his nose went, but I could never quite catch the glimpse of that sought for appendage...)  :-D

Contour Drawing

(04-25-2011. A friend suggested this book to read and I'm all for anything that gets me cookin'. The first exercise was to draw a contour drawing of a model.  Well, I'm the model, since I am the only one I see around here.  Except for the cat.  Who can't even hold still while he's sleeping. So with movie in, background noise on, I did several blind contour drawings. A total of 6, actually, all different poses as much as possible.  Unfortunately this one's a bit light, as it was done in pencil.)

today.
