Alright, so last week I said I would finish drawings this week. I may have lied. Instead I started two new ones. Oops. To be fair, I've been having a lot of new ideas for new compositions and new possibilities, and it seems a little silly to let those slip away. However, I did continue to work on past drawings as well. Total hours drawing this week: around 11.
Here is a new one I began this week...
In addition to spending time on past drawings, I made some spring break preparations. This is totally relevant, I swear. Because as it happens, I am taking a train to San Francisco, and that means two days of nothing to do but watch the beautiful scenery, and draw. Hours and hours of drawing, that is if the train isn't too horribly shaky (although that could make for some interesting effects...) and then, once we arrive in San Francisco, I'll gain some more drawing inspiration while visiting Golden Gate Park and hopefully making a day trip to see the Redwoods. I made a few travel-size base paintings just for the occasion:
Traveling and drawing: not too shabby of a spring break. Especially since after break, it's going to be crunch time. But let's not think about that now...happy break everyone!
I can't believe it took me this long to realize you need to see my friend Nicole's paintings:

I think it's great that you've started new drawings. you're at a great point now - you know what you're doing and you just have to keep working really hard and bring as many as you can to final definition. the whites and the blacks and dark browns are really helping. with those contrasts you can keep the drawing working with the painting and not in competition with it.
