Woman's Head

Publish Post
Today's train sketch. This is based of of Jeremy Englmon's "Head of a Woman". What? You expect half naked women on NJT? Only in summer.

Cowgirl

I really am trying to wean myself off of doing "copies" like this. They are fun, instantly gratifying and I'm being told are a very easy crutch. The original is from Kia Acedera with Imaginism Studios. Yes, If you look up the original, I know I screwed up the face. I think I will keep doing that until I can stop being afraid of them, I think.

Sitting Woman

This charcoal was done some time this past summer, it's from a photo I found online, if I remembered where I'd tell you. I hate doing noses, really, really hate them.

First Post!

I'm going to use this blog to try to keep track of the efforts/results and hopefully progress of my creative attempts. Right now I'm doing a lot of copying, it is easier to practice that way. The charcoal drawing of the woman and the ink of the bear are both mine, but the original sources are from Matt Phelan (he has a great blog btw). My projects are hanging around drawing and needlepoint right now, but I've seen some beautiful painted quilts (especially by Judy Coates Perez) that are making me dream about combining the two.
