More abstract, spontaneous doodles. Because.

Artwork in Progress
I create just about every day, and share my works-in-progress here, and on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You can find finished paintings from 2011 through 2015 in my Daily Paintings feed.

From attempts at representational drawing, to random weirdness. I have no idea what or who this is, but apparently it (she? he?) has a magic wand and is blowing stars out of its beak.
Don’t ask me, I just draw the things.

Face #13. Freehand from a photo, which means the proportions are wonky, but I think it captures a likeness.

Learning to draw freehand by copying someone else’s drawing. This is a copy of a drawing from portrait-artist.org.
They say copy the masters, and it’s a great way to practice. I find it so much easier to see shapes, angles, values, in someone else’s drawing than in a photo.
It’s also helping me be more minimal in my approach, so I don’t spend an hour on an eye, before getting to the rest of the face!
All of it is practice. All of it is learning. And it’s fun!
Happy Sunday–go make something today!

Does this person look familiar at all?

Starting a new abstract doodle. I so need to dive into abstraction after attempting realism!

I keep telling myself I’m going to do a quick line drawing, but I get caught up in the shading.
These sketches still don’t look like the actual subjects, but they look like people, and I’m happy with that for now. ?

Another drawing I’d forgotten about, from 1997.
Seems I drew sporadically for a few months, then just stopped. The gremlins were just too loud back then, and I had no tools for taming them.

The sketchbook I’m using has journal entries and sketches I’d forgotten I’d done, from 1997! This is my beloved cat, Koosh, of blessed memory. She died on MLK Day in 1999, the same year I got divorced.
It’s fascinating, and also painful, getting a peek into what I was thinking and seeing back then. I was not a happy person… Seeing Koosh made me smile though. A smile tinged with longing and sadness. I think losing that cat was harder than losing my marriage.
