ADAD #3: portrait of a woman

 Another woman, drawn in pencil:

ADAD #2: pencil portrait

 Today's drawing is another portrait in coloured pencil, I think the tip was a bit blunt so then you make more mistakes, or lines go too thick. Anyways, this is the result:

A drawing a day in February #1

 February is starting today and for me it is the month of a small drawingproject, which I have been doing for a couple of years now: a drawing a day in February (ADAD). I kind of wanted to skip this year because there are other things to do... but it is just fun seeing the results.

So I am just going to do it, and see what will happen. Portraits are a favourite subject so I am starting with this one:

Drawing along

 Drawing along with Koosje Koene in my sketchbook, she used some tangerine fruits in a bowl as example. I was testing some aquarelpencils as a base.

And so the pages in my sketchbook get filled in this new year... how about your sketchbook?

Away

I have been away, on holiday in the Alps, and it has been like this: 

Lots of snow, hiking, being outside and enjoying family time. I am re-energized for the year to come and am looking forward to continue the creative work and projects.

Seeing shapes

 In cartoon movies the shapes of faces are always a bit exaggerated, but that is what gives them so much character. And why not try to see shapes in people's portraits? Train your eye and hand to record what you see. I guess you know which cartoon I was watching...
