The Waiting
I haven’t sketched for a bit because of other issues in my life. I almost forgot how healing it is to pick up a pencil. “She” only looks similar to the statue picture she was drawn from. I thought she really needed to come to life and hope I did her justice in that.
Reflection
I believe the photo I sketched this from is a statue. It looks like it might be a gravestone. I just fell in love with it. Not sure what the statue is called, but my sketch is “Reflection”. I’m thinking it may become a painting.
From a Distance
A friend asked me if I could do a sketch of a Blue Jay for her so she could give it to her mother. This is the result. I am hoping that she likes it.
Dressing Down
Another sketch of a photo of a sculpture. That face angle was a bear to get right!
Draped Lady
I think I am getting better at folds in drapery! Also, I impressed myself by getting the upturned face pretty correct. I have a hard time with faces at odd angles. Its all a learning process! Fun. Sometimes very frustrating, but I love it.
Poppies
I love Poppies. They’re almost like paper flowers that come with their own little fireworks display. When the pods are ripe, they explode seeds everywhere. How cool is that?
Lady in Shawl
Another one done from a photo of a bust. Seems the classics had the women either naked and on full display or fully covered, prayerful and looking like the virgin Mary.
Swallow Flight
Thought it was about time to sketch something just because I love it. And I love birds!
“Disapproving”
So, at a certain level, I failed at this one. It was sketched from a photo of a bust. But, my pencil decided to make it more “human”. And since I really liked the way it came out, I decided to leave it as is. I may try again to duplicate the bust at another time.
