The fine art of portraits and figures...
I'm currently working in charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. This blog is updated regularly with works in progress, and general updates relating to my art work. On occasion I will post articles about art history or other art related topics and a few pieces of my photography.

Drawing
I just started sketching in some more of the face today. This drawing is proving to be a challenge on many levels. Not only is the photo I'm working from not idea from the flash, but the angle of the face and eye color is a bit of challenge as well. I'm used to working with dark brown eyes (my own). So I have to remember that the eyes are lighter than mine. Also the photo has inspired me to attempt a background in this drawing. I'm also doing a second face in this drawing as well. I'm really excited about this drawing. Like I said before I'd like to have done by Christmas, but I really want to take my time. So far I think it's coming together well. The hair as always will be a challenge but I'm looking forward to it too.
