Neglected?

Since there has been a 2 week break, I would agree with you if you said neglected. My sewing machine got a bit of a look in on my time plus I had a trip interstate and time for a bit of reflection.

The main thing I have learnt over the past month and a bit is that I was focusing too much on outlines and not enough on building up shading. While outlines have their place, I am starting to feel happier with my drawing when I do a very lgiht base sketch and then build up the edges as with the horned sheep sketch. He is just about to the point where I'm ready to abandon him and move on.

I have increased my confidence and feel more comfortable having a play around which is beginning to develop into an increase of creativity with other hobbies. The flourish of creativity pictured includes some pencil sketching which I am about to enlarge on a grand scale for a new project. (I have too many projects, and even more ideas that need to get out!)

Day 50

I wanted to try and show the right tone as my camera is washing out areas. I've been working slowly on the areas of shadow... Reasonably happy so far, but perhaps a little more work on him before he is discarded.
