Draw a.....

To make sure I actually do a drawing a day, I have written down a bunch of subjects (inspired by the EDM challenges) to draw everyday. Well my sketch for Friday was supposed to be a shoe...not the most interesting subject matter so I changed it to drawing in public. I'll try not to change the subject like that in the future. I drew my 2 year old daughter while we were at a restaurant. She was looking behind her at a group of people that were laughing loudly (babies are so nosy lol) so I finally had a pose that she could stay in long enough to quickly sketch her with all those purrty curls. When she realized I was drawing something she kept trying to sneak a look...she's a funny little girl. This was done in fine point sharpie.




I started working on this piece and finished on Saturday morning. I had these Gioconda soft pastel pencils sitting here ever since I bought them off of ebay last year and never really used them. I figured it was about time. This was done on a toned Mi Teintes charcoal paper. Once again practice makes perfect and I'll continue to practice with these until I get the hang of them.
