Sketchy Sunday 28/29/30
SKETCHY DUMP!!!
Week 28:
I am very proud of Mon-Wednesday's sketch. It's my mum standing at the fence outside our back door, and I drew it from a photo I took on my mobile phone. I veer between hating Fri-Sunday and loving it. The angle of the head and width of the jaw are all wrong, but I am really pleased with the eyes and forehead. The smile's not far off either. I've decided that I feel better if I think of it as a caricature instead of a portrait. Sorry, Mr Smith! Don't feel bad, I've had to apologise to Mr Tennant as well.
Week 29:
Looking at it now, I should have done the hair either all one colour - either yellow or orange - or gone for a combo of greens and blues. But I had pictured the hair in warm multi-tones before I realised that I wanted to highlight the body in blue. Oh well.
Also, the head is too big, as can be seen when you rotate it:
Despite those problems, I like this picture. I like its mood, the curve of the body, the legs and feet, the expression on her face, her hands. And I really like the blue highlights, they work surprisingly well.
Week 30:
This has been a scrappy week. But I do like my cityscape in Fri-Sunday and the fairy wings on Monday.
