Apologies for the obscure titling of this post- it refers to the fact that the image I am posting is something that sits between the 'bones' of paid commissions in my sketchbook. I am sure I know what I mean.
For this personal work I have produced a variety of drawings (this lady being one of my favourites) in a couple of different styles- so I am trying approaches that are new to me. My last commission required me to work quickly with loose black ink strokes. Since I ordinarily work a lot finer it was a challenge, but I must say that I really enjoyed working this way. It was a liberating experience!

This is so great, she has so much character. Man, I wish I could draw! You wannna give me some lessons??!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, aw thanks! I honestly believe that everyone can! It's practise and observation. I am lucky because being able to do it every day does have an impact on the work you produce. Do you have a sketchbook? If you don't, my advice would be to get one, set up camp in a cafe and while away some time people-watching.
ReplyDeleteThis is your first lesson from Teacher Grey. It's like free University. ;) x

ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice - I've got a little sketch book and I'm taking it on holiday with me so I'll see how it goes and report back!
ReplyDeleteOh fantastic! Good luck with it. It's been the best practise imaginable for me- I hope it helps you to at least start recognising the potential you most certainly have.
