or at least keeps an artist from completely regressing back to stick figures.
I've done a lot of ATCs and jointed paper dolls this year. I've been working on some other projects for a change of pace. A friend asked me to do some drawings of her sons and I agreed realizing that I needed the practice. While I was working on them I realized I DESPERATELY needed the practice. I have certainly lost some of my skill and eye for drawing. I need to be drawing everyday! My new goal is a portrait a week. I'm pretty busy these days and still feeling really tired from the pregnancy so 1 a week may be all I'm up to finishing these days. Plus I have a couple other projects going on.
Here are the drawings I've done lately. Hopefully, I'll be posting more and will see some improvement as I get more and more practice.
And here is the littlest guy. I've never been very good with baby portraits so the practice was good. The scan leaves out most of the shading. I had more shading in the baby's portrait than the other two, but you wouldn't know to see it here.
