Todays meagre offerings...
Me tired. Me been doing crappy sketches. Me been doing mainstream landscapes in pastels. Me bought a shiny box of expensive pastels to try out and think I'm in love (is it wrong to be in love with chalk?).
And also I've been having issues about signing/not signing pastels - anyone have a clue? I don't want to spoil a picture with my name at the bottom of it.
Bad sketches:
My first try with new pastels and new meant-for-pastels pad that I don't like. So, a poor effort (and given a frame courtesy of Paint Shop):
The second try - which I love. I don't care if anyone else likes it, I'm going to get this one framed properly:
And then there's this:
And this:
And...um...that's it, I think. Meagre selection this week.
Oh, and I meant to make this offer ages ago, but I'll do it now. If anyone has a yen for a bad freebie sketch of their child/pet/whoever then just give me a shout via the PM thingy on my userinfo or comment here. It would be a huge favour to me to be honest - I need to practise - and it's more fun sketching 'real' people than famous folks strangely enough. I just couldn't guarantee I'd be able to do it *grin*.
