1/17/08 – My left hand

Just messing around with color and contrast and definition via color. I prefer messing around to following instruction books.

I’ll eventually get back around to the instruction books because I know they provide tools and techniques so that messing around become more effective.

Note: Oh, my goodness, my left hand has been so unattractively condensed horizontally via WordPress. I’ve been squeezed. Oh, well.

1/17/08 – My niece

I drew this from a photo. I don’t think it would be possible for her to stay still long enough for a portrait. Unless she was sleeping.

I continually have to focus on proportion and relationships as I draw. I was so focused on getting the eyes right that I didn’t realize until too late that the right eye should be lower than the left eye. But it came out okay for a first try at a portrait (other than my scary self-portrait).

I’ve been wanting to draw this leaf for a while. I like it.

Traveled all day, unpacked some stuff, then sat down to do a drawing. I decided to give Photoshop drawing a go, inspired by others in Drawmo!

I love the Christmas flavors at Starbucks. Today was a gingerbread soy latte, no foam, thank you very much.

Part of a collection of leaves picked up in Central Park. The only criteria was that it couldn’t be bigger than my tiny moleskine book.

I was busy editing images so I asked my friend to make a drawing for today. Here is her contribution to Drawmo!

11/21 – At the pre-party

I was surprised to realize how much Ronald McDonald is a little scary looking (like most clowns) and how much he resembles the Joker.

If you get up early on Thanksgiving morning and watch TV, you may recognize this drawing.

The flight landed before I could complete the work.
