Yesterday's Disasters


Here is a picture I almost tore out of my book.  I was so unhappy with it.  It started out as a pencil drawing, then I added markers.  I have only one flesh tone, so I used a yellow and a gray for shadows.  I ruined it about four times, and got the paper so soggy I thought it would drip.  I left it in disgust.  But the next morning it seemed a  better sketch.  Healed of its glaring faults, somehow.

Save  your stuff and look at them another day.

  1. what fascinates me about this sketch is that the proportions of the face are great- something i still can't get at without measuring to some degree- and i love the colors- but what fascinates me is the form with in a form concept you mention; The hair is out and around the face. I like it.
