I drew daily, though not always in ink and not always responding to the prompt. Here are some I like:
September: Not Just A Pretty Face
After months of drawing just faces, during September the urge hit to do more figure work. I did a couple of ink drawings that I’m happy with. This is the first of them, Post-Apoc - it’s also my first and so far only fountain pen drawing. I know that in October, aka Inktober, I shall do more
August: Structure and Media
During August I took a sktchy art school online course on creating a foundational drawing of the head using the Loomis method. I’ve been able to integrate key principles of this approach to more quickly arrive at an accurate rendering of the face and head.
During this time I also found that I love mechanical pencils. They never need sharpening, they are available in a wide range of widths and hardnesses, and even a good one is pretty inexpensive and feel much better in the hand than other pencils.
This is one of the drawings done late in August that I’m very pleased with.
