Sketchbook Portraits

I've been looking at vintage photographs lately in my sketchbook and adding my own spin.

Sketchbooky things.

I swore to myself that I would dedicate myself fully to my sketchbook during this post-graduation, pre-job stage. Well, somehow watching the entire series of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer has become my time holder instead. I've been using the age old excuse of "I don't have any project ideas," which is dumb, I need to keep exploring, nothing comes out of.... well, nothing.

All that rant aside, here are some of the sketchbooky things that have appeared since I last updated this blog. Maybe my goal for the summer should be to find a project. I have a feeling I'm going to miss having deadlines like I did with school. Alas,

Just an Observation

Once I was told I could not draw, and that I shouldn't be bothered to try. It nagged at me recently (for other reasons too long to get into) for awhile before I realized.... I can draw. It's abstracted a bit, and sometime my lines aren't straight, but I draw what I intend to draw. I'm not saying I'm brilliant, but I don't draw stick figures. The point is, now that I've been working on this 365 project for over six months now I can see a huge difference in my skills. I draw a bit straighter, occasional the perspective is right, and most of all I enjoy it. The only person who can't draw is Hermione Granger! (Get the reference? No? No?)
