Pink Maple – Coloring Digitally
I felt like I needed some bright colors in my life today. I went back through the daily sketch archives and found a portrait to experiment with. My thought being, “Why not add some color digitally? Let’s see what happens.” I am super encouraged by this short, fun coloring! Pink seemed the way to go, […]

Daily Portraits – 24 & 25 (digital)
Hi, all you lovely people. ♥ I am nearing the conclusion of the first month of portrait drawing. I haven’t drawn every day as I set out to do, travel and boat repairs interrupted some of my work flow. I also had days when there were no other circumstances to blame but myself. But, this […]

Daily Sketches – 21, 22, and 23

Daily Drawing: Days 5 and 6
Two more days of drawing to introduce you to. As I had thought would happen, Day 5 was not as progressive as I’d hoped. Happily, Day 6 was! There are flows to each day. It’s enough that I wake up, and get focused enough to draw — all the better when I draw — no […]

4 Days of Portrait Sketching
A few years ago when I was first learning drawing, I did 100 portraits as close to once a day as I could manage. In fact, most of the portraits you’ve seen on my blog have been due to this work period. Obviously, I made a lot of progress! It was difficult to stay determined […]
