Wow! It’s been about 12 days since I last posted something here….that’s what happens when I go off and play! Haha.
If I really had my act together I’d prepare some posts ahead of time and have them preset to post….but that’s if I had my act together.
I was able to sketch a bit while out on vacation. Which was good. I woke up early one morning and got a good 3+ hours of sketch time in…undisturbed! Coffee pot full, view of the beach out front and the bay out back….Heaven!
Just before I left on vacation one of my friends approached me about my open-offer to sketch a “picture for practice”.
So, I did the grunt work at home (scanning, enlarging, templating the picture) before our trip.
The head angle in the picture is not straight on… go figure!
Still need to shade in around the face which will help to unflatten it. I’m always so tentative!
Candid photography! Usually I love it but this may prove a bit challenging! I had to extract the subject out….then enlarge him about 300%. I think I’ve lost lots of details to the guy due to the smaller image….my imagination will have to play a part to make this work.
It’s teacher-help-me-please time!
