New Project

So I had a lousy week in art so far, and I haven't gotten much done. I spent all of Tuesday struggling to draw. Nothing turned out, and I was so swamped with other homework that I didn't really get a chance to try again later. So today I gave up on drawing myself from a photo and broke out the mirror. I wasn't really anticipating that, but it worked out okay. I'm thinking I might take the sketch I did today and turn it into a painting, but it would probably be kind of bold and graphic and not exactly in sync with everything else. We shall see. It's quite possible that I might not be able to get much done over the next few days (which is scary), but I'm going to do my best!
Next week I promise I'll either get a photo or comment on an artist.

  2. you should do just fine. Sometimes thats what it takes to get creative. If you draw from photos all the time it can get a little stale so doing a drawing based off of a reflection could really freshen things up a bit. Another good kind of portrait idea is drawing the reflection from a spoon...
