    Day 80 – Modern DVD influences today – been rummaging around in my CD Box Set of Sherlock – inspired to try Lindsay Duncan who I think has the most amazingly expressive mouth – needed more time – as always – but this one blocked in and started off pretty well – difficult as there are virtually no shadows – its all half-tone, which is why it is all so light…Female face - profile

    That made me laugh out loud – yes – I have to admit I decided to follow you as I was interested to see where your resources were coming from 🙂

    Hi Jac, I’m loving the colours on your book – makes me want to read it…

    These are great – I love the overall tone of everything with the dark paper and hatching 🙂

    Day 77 – Only time for a quick sketch tonight – this is actually my son, although you would never recognise him from this sketch!

    Welcome Angela – there are loads of us on here who are on the same journey – its loads of fun, but can also be intensely frustrating – I’ve been using the site for around 10 months now I think – I arrived looking for a starting place for Oil Painting and then never left…:)

    Day 76 – Drawing along with Iliya tonight – I really like the way he explains things, but I can’t say I’m massively inspired by spending all this time looking at a cast – its interesting that he is seeing things that simply don’t show up through the video, so there is a bit of working from imagination too.

    Hi Daniel, that is so great to hear – thanks … I’m sure we all think we are taking one step forwards and two back most of the time! I think one thing that is changing for me are my standards – so if something is clearly off I just now start again… It uses more paper, but you get better results 🙂 I did lol when you said you had also felt the need to draw Stan in his cowboy gear – nice that we are both making use of Proko too.

    Day 75 – this feels like a significant landmark – three quarters of the way there – I have amazed myself at how dedicated I have been with this – I guess it must be something to do with really enjoying drawing in the evenings…

    Anyway – more work on the Asaro head. I was really pleased with it, until I uploaded it and saw straight away that the top plane of the head is way too light…  and some of the broader shadow areas are too light too… its a game of many parts this drawing thing… 🙂

    Day 74 Well I’ve only been on the NMA site for about 10 months – and I actually spotted the course structure .pdf today! – what took me so long… as it turns out I have managed to find the key fundamental courses for most things, but am going to go back now in a structured way and fill in some gaps… So, its an Asaro head tonight – just got as far as the shadows today.

    Wow, this is great… Especially if you’ve been feeling rough!

    Day 73 – lots of bad block-ins again today – my Loomis heads simply don’t help, so I went for something much more fluid and fast and stopped stressing over each measurement – I think my observational skills help me out a lot when I work like this, but I am much happier with this outcome. It must be said that my reference has good shadows and the others that I have been working with have been lit with much more diffuse light… anyway – one day I will work out what works for me – but this one goes in the “pretty good” box…

    Day 72 – Planes of the head tracing in Photoshop – this is what I was trying to draw on Day 70!
