Improvement

Playing with different styles of interpreting photo subjects but can see definite improvement.

Portrait Sketch

Very happy with this one. About 30-40mins

Quick Studies

10-15mins each

Still Life Study

Back to basics as promised.

Another Face

I feel more confident drawing faces after these recent successes. Hoping to continue to improve and look back on these some day with something even better.

Past Reflection

Everything I learnt last time feels like it has gelled together nicely but I feel like I need more basics too.

New Beginning

It has been quite a while, but I'm going to try drawing more often again. I've barely touched a pencil in a long time so lets see how much I remember.

End Challenge 4...

Almost through to 90 days, but life got in the say and a couple of forgotten days has turned into a couple of weeks. This has been the best challenge yet and I can definately see improvements.

Day 80

Tablet magiced itself back to how it was working. Still not sure what happened.

Day 79

Day 78

Still having tablet issues. Drawing is a lot harder when the pen doesn't register hard and soft presses. I don't know what I did to muck up the settings.

Day 77

Something happened to my tablet today XD The pen was a lot darker and I don't think I changed any settings. The eraser on the pen didn't work properly either. If it isn't back to normal tomorrow I might have to play around with it and see what happened.

Day 73

Day 72

Loomis image dump, and last one is a bit from photos.

Day 71

New face sketch from photo

And also some copies from Loomis. I read some more advice about copying been very good for developing proportions (and so my copying a couple of days ago has been validated as a valid exercise too!) so I'm going to try getting back to some more Loomis copies and work on anatomy more. Also starting to work digitally is speeding up the posting process as the work is already in the computer.

Day 70

Day 69

More playing with the tablet and struggling with open mouths. I'm not unhappy with those eyes though.

However when you compare them to a trace (below) I can see for the first time that issues with the eyes from this photo are in placement and layout. Second image is further development of the right eye and nose with trace image removed.

Day 68

First attempts at using my tablet in a very long time. The transition to looking down at paper and pen and looking up while drawing blind is tricky.
