More?

Just let me know...if you get bored with these. I have many to share that have now been saved on a disk. 

Saturday I had another question directed to me in the comments. This time, it was Sandra. She asked: "Do you sketch from looking at the subject or from photos or both and can you sit and look at me and sketch me?"

Good question! To answer: Honestly, unless you're willing to pose for me for days, I NEED a PHOTO instead. For many reasons tho. If I have just a subject to look at in person, the shadows differ by the minute, movement and depth disappear and reappear in other areas. I would like to say I throw caution to the wind, but I try too much for perfectionism, and a live subject is not there for me like a photo. If it's landscape I still need a photo because of lighting and shadows. For most of my drawings, I usually take a week to 10 days to finish a sketch...so, I need a permanent guide and use of a photo supplies that need. Granted I have done some by memory of faces. A few come to mind and I have that to share later...I will point them out to you. Some sketches I begin just "pops out" for me and I add a bit here and there from looking at the original photos.  I do play around somewhat, but not often.  And, I must be VERY familiar with the face in order to accomplish what I see in my mind. 90% of the time, tho, it's a photo guide for me.  Thanks for asking.
