©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, Tired Baby. Graphite in 9 x 12 inch sketchbook.
Last night I made another drawing of a baby for practice. I originally wanted it only to be a quick sketch but ended up spending much more time on it than I intended, probably because I almost never draw babies and I’m out of practice. Also, I actually know this baby in person and I wanted to capture her likeness (it’s pretty good but not perfect). I’m sort of sick of portraits after this one though so I think I will try to do some other types of drawings today.
A far as the Art Every Day Challenge is going, I have been faithful to the challenge by doing artwork every day, although I’ve had some disappointing results for some of my drawings. Even so, I am pleased with myself because I’ve done more work than usual and also have more good work as well. In that same line of thought, I decided to join NaNoDrawMo, which is a flickr group based on NaNoWriMo with the idea of making fifty drawings (or paintings) in November. I’m honestly not sure if I will be able to meet that challenge, but I know that I will be more prolific, which is my ultimate goal.
I also thought I’d share some blogs that are new to my RSS reader in the past couple of weeks:
- Anna Emilia (a Finnish illustrator, very ethereal stuff)
- lime green cardi (a new blog with lots of contour drawings)
- Color Collective (interesting blog for finding unusual color combinations).
