Day 13

Leftovers from the yesterday’s zorn palette figure. I’m finding myself needing to change media here and there to keep things spicy. The ultimate goal is painting.

Here are also some pen gesture drawings as I am trying to build more confidence and deliberate marks.

Day 15. Keeping my hands busy really helps me stay more alert while listening to dry textbooks. Although I see a few watercolor classes in my future when I can.

Wasn’t sure what to work on today.

Day 16

[Carrie Snow]

Worked on this for a college course. The assignment was to demonstrate value ranges with graphite and no blending or smudging tools, including our hands. This took forever because I was trying to achieve a likeness, combined with the rules of the assignment and my like of skill at heads, I worked on this for 3 days and still hate it. For the rest of to class exercises, I’m going to stick with something more forgiving.

Only counting this as one day 😓

This was a major lesson in taking breaks and standing back. During one of the sessions when I was too zoned in, I didn’t even realize the facial features were way off. I was cracking up when I first stood back. Then (figuratively) crying as I tried to fix it over and over 😂

Day 17

Back to a few timed poses. After missing a few days I about forgot how relaxing it is.

Day 22. Big day for regular classes today. I’m a bit disappointed that I can’t be dedicating more time to improvement but at least there’s always a few moments to steal away from other daily activities.

School assignment. Trying to tie it in to learning the back a little better since I will be drawing dots for hours.

A few days behind on my posts with lack of time, but not behind on my practice, these are for the days I hadn’t post
