Noses

EDM challenge 65 - draw your nose. This challenge came at the perfect time for me. I have been struggling over the past couple of weeks trying to figure out noses and not having very much success. They always come out looking like pig noses. While I was at the dentist I found this magazine that had wonderful noses in it. I didn't have my sketchbook with me at the time but, I knew I would be back that afternoon since both girls had appointments. While Miss A got her teeth cleaned I did the first three. The one on the bottom right was done the next day from a different magazine.


Inspired by my little success with noses I proceeded to doodle while watching TV with the girls that evening. This is what came out of that - "look Ma, no pig nose". Tia come over to be petted so I held her face for a couple of minutes to try to do a quick sketch of her nose. These were done with my daughter's gel pen which doesn't flow very well. Miss V asked who I was drawing hence the comment "Who Nose" on the page.

Hands

EDM challenge 10 -Draw your hand. A couple of quick hand drawings. I find it very interesting as I look back through my sketchbooks from the past few months. I feel like I have taken 2 steps forward and 1 giant step back. Maybe it is because I am trying to get faster and looser. I have been trying not to agonize over every little detail. At the same time I am feeling more confident and comfortable with my drawing ability.

Feet

EDM challenge 23 - draw your foot. I have been trying to do more blind contour drawings. These were done very early the other morning. I was trying not to wake DH or the girls. All but one are BC. My feet may be strange looking but not this strange. As strange as they may appear these are some of the best blind contours I've ever done. At least you can tell these are feet of some type. Well, I will continue to practice and hopefully get better.
