Gregory

02-29-2012. This is my friend Gregory. Gregory has great eyes. Very pretty. I was working on this one trying to figure out stubble. He has a very short haircut, and very short beard and mustache. :)

giving a hand

02-28-2012 Today felt like a "draw my hand" kinda day. So I did. Using a loose grip and my pointy brush marker. :)

Strange

02-27-2012. I have to stop trying to sketch people that I don't know. I derive no pleasure out of it, since I have never talked to them at all and have absolutely no feeling on them. So all I can do is look at a photo and draw some lines. While they may be somewhat close, they just don't connect for me. Or maybe I should keep practicing. But....meh.

Back again....

02-26-2012. From a distance I couldn't get deep into detail. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing... :)

At The Coffee Shop...again...

02-25-2012... This guy with his little kid hat sipping coffee out of a big mug was sitting with his girlfriend/female counterpart/et cetera. The not-so-odd thing about it (nowadays, anyway) is they never said one word to each other the entire time I was there. Just sat across from each other messing with their phones. Maybe they were playing Words With Friends with each other. Anyhoo, I definitely feel more at ease sitting there sketching live...

Crap.

02-24-2012. See? A year and two months daily practice and I can STILL produce utter crap. There's not much redeeming about this one...the only thing I'm actually liking is the necklace. Trying to cut out a lot of extra lines and keeping it simple pretty much threw my brain for a tizzy even more than it was already in. I usually get into sketching and lose track of time, but it was a no go this time. Stubble gets me every. Time. And the chunka hair threw me too. Even Miss Cindy puppy said it wasn't worth anything but a good chew. Ah well... good practice. It taught me what NOT to do. And I did promise to post the good and the bad...

Mom, part (anyway)

02-23-2012. My mom has a very symmetrical nose. Which looks nothing like mine. :-O Almost nothing...
