Continuing on with my October drawing challenge - whether you call it inktober or artober or sketchtober or whatever... The idea was to draw something everyday in October (Part the First, Part the Second). I actually did something similar in September as well.

A WEEK after I pinched my finger in an overhead door, I found out it was actually fractured. Tuesday we went out and got a splint for it. It took some getting used to - it was SUPER irritating at first - my finger actually felt WAY WORSE in the splint. I seem to have come to grips with it... or... just got used to it. I get to wear it for 4 weeks. fun times.

In the morning we went to get influenza vaccinations. Afterwards we had to wait for 15 minutes - in case there were any immediate reactions.
Started to draw Amanda... but then she decided to take her jackets off.
One friend on facebook suggested I should have gone all Marcel Duchamp and practiced my cubism skills.. A well... next time...
Jackets off and settled in with a book for a few minutes while we waited...

Amanda again. It may look like she's falling asleep during a work meeting - she's actually looking down referring to cue cards while leading an online Yoga Nidra session she's been putting on for the Grad Students Association.

Lucy D again - also from photos.
and... that's it...
After a solid month of a clear project in September, I kind of feel like I've been flailing this month... Ah, well... some drawings got drawn... Maybe next month will be better...
Subjects moving are just something a portrait artist just needs to deal with. It's either that or take up still life instead.
ReplyDeleteTBH, your flu pic is my favourite one here because of the dynamic markings. But I like your developing style overall.
Ha! I guess! thanks!
