After a long hiatus of being uninspired, I'm back with lots of sketches to make up. This one I got as a practice in drawing women's portraits. The exercise was to use one model and do multiple drawings so these are mine.

Sketch 62, Day 75 - Lower Half Woman

Sketch 61, Day 75 - Wishbone

Sketch 60, Day 75 - Corkscrew

Sketch 59, Day 74 - Zombie boy

So this is supposed to be a happy go lucky, smiling boy and the shadows make him look like a zombie. Point taken. Can't sketch when I've had too much wine.Noted.

Sketch 58, Day 74 - Woman Asleep

I hate this one. Hate it. Not just because her hair looks like a mullet but because I got the proportions wrong. And it didn't capture what I was trying to capture. *sigh* Maybe there will be a redo in the future.

The graphite really reflected on this one so the whitest parts are actually the darkest.

I know you wanted them and now you have them: all the basic shapes in one place with shading and shadows. End scene on last day of class.

Sketch 50, Day 61 - Vanishing Points

Sorry for the super awful quality of this photo. We were working on vanishing points and turning boxes into tables plus a little perspective thrown in.

Yes I realize the leg is crooked and no I don't want to talk about it.

Sketch 48, Day 61 - Box

Not as easy as you may think. 

Sketch 47, Day 56 - Dog

Sketch 46, Day 56 - Matches

Really hard to get the contrast right
