This anonymous excitable lady represents my first use of a sketchbook that doesn't have anything to do with a dragonfly in three or four years at the very least. I stopped a long time ago. I should pick back up and see what it feels like. See if I have the bits to put back together.
I worked this one quickly--15 minutes with a soft pencil (3B) on a small 5"x5" sketchbook, and no erasing. I wanted to see if I could build up as I went along, and to just leave my initial shaping lines there to be seen. I'll probably work like that for a while before I get down to anything like trying to achieve something more than "face!" "body!"
I wonder how regular I can make this.
