I'm Moving......

Since it seems that I've used up my quota of photos from Blogspot's free service, and I'm way too cheap to pay to upgrade, I'm moving to Facebook. If you'd like to continue following, please feel free to visit me at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151166603948651.445494.578493650&type=1. Thanks so much for sticking with me for all this time... I hope to see you there.... :-D

 yesterday someone was reading an actual BOOK on the train. :-O

And today this gent was sketching. Well, he was drawing a page full of y's. Then an abstract flower. Then he got off the train.

Rumbling along on the train gives you some odd but cool lines...

Five minutes. Two faces. Top one....not so sure. Bottom one...not TOO bad.

I decided to take my H pencil today and sketch a furry to see how that'd work. No eraser, no grid, in a couple of hours. This is Clementine Marie Adame who has about the most beautiful brown eyes you'd ever see, along with a great happy puppy grin (that happens to be slightly askew due to a cleft palate, but doesn't detract from her beauty one tiny bit).

Today I took a step back to remember where I was almost two whole years ago. When it took me several days, a grid, an entire pack of pencils from 8B to 6H pencils, stiff lines, an eraser, and a lot of stepping back to measure several times just to get one portrait done. Today? MAYBE a couple hours, no grid, one 2B pencil, loose lines, and NO ERASER... and this is why I practice EVERY. DAY.

Nobody wanted to stick around long enough, so I just did bits and pieces of randoms. :-)
