Day 12 Spacing of features is still an issue for me, but the ability to get to this point with a sketch in a shorter amount of time is greatly encouraging. This took me about 15 minutes, as opposed to the near-hour this level of development was taking me only a week ago. Impressive results. […]

Day 10 Digital portrait, drawn in Sketchbook Pro. I played with some color. Using synthetic paint, and seeing how much I could teach myself about color work, I experimented. I am pleased with the lips and the sheen of white — I know it’s not brilliantly executed, but being able to use color and incorporate […]

This was a short sketch study, once again done digitally. Even though she isn’t elaborate, and she has no hair in this version, I’m pleased. The studies are going faster and more intuitively. Plus, as a bonus, after a week of small works, I get the pleasure of seeing a positive progression!

The eighth day of sketching portraits. This was a short exercise for me, about 30 minutes. I used Sketchbook Pro again, as I want to get more comfortable with making traditional-looking art in digital form — it gives me so many more options for working while living on a boat — and the versatility of […]

I played with hatching today, and so some very generic lines. I spent about twenty minutes on her. I hope to develop her in the future. She is a digital drawing using Sketchbook Pro. The same drawing as above, but with some tiny amounts of color for fun. I hope tomorrow continues progressively […]

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 […]

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 […]

ABOUT THIS PICTURE 9.5″ x 11″, graphite on paper. This drawing took me a little over an hour to complete. I drew this toward the end of my “100 Portraits” consecutive-days drawing period. She is based from a reference photo I found online. Even though her eye is a bit overlarge, and some of […]

ABOUT THIS PICTURE 8.5 x 11″, graphite on paper. A simple portrait sketch that took me about half an hour to make. I used a black-and-white reference photo. My goal wasn’t to focus on shading so much, as it was to practice placing the features of the face. In this picture, you can even […]
