Forgetful Friday

As I sit down to write this post, I remember it is Blind Contour Friday. If it was my usual Friday and I remembered before posting, I would just wait a bit to post and try one first. But I have an appointment this morning and so will post now. Maybe I will post twice today. There is no law against it that I know.

Anyway, I finally sketched a bit. I didn't make a book yesterday, but I did sketch a couple of things. I found a lovely picture of a young girl in my file of things to draw and using Art Rage Studio I attempted to sketch her. I am quite happy with the sketch, but really need to spend time with the program before I attempt to paint her. When I get to that level with the program, I will bring her back in color.

If you click on her, you should be able to see it better.

The nose and mouth are not quite right, but I think I've captured her pretty well otherwise.

I started a pencil sketching class on Ning with Monica Zuniga, an artist whose work I've admired for awhile. I am unable to download the videos until I get to a coffee shop because HughesNet will cut me off for 24 hours if I go over my limit. But I did work a bit on an eye and have it to show to you.

I think it needs more work, but I'm pleased so far.

I need to get in the shower and get ready for this early morning appointment. I will do my best to attempt a blind contour later in the day and will post it for your amusement viewing pleasure.

Until then, I hope you have a warm and lovely day.

xoxo

  12. Beautiful sketches and I also love the expression on her face. Reminds me of very classical portraits.
