I’m home from camp and back to more spacious mornings, with time to practice faces, and Internet access to faces to draw.
These are all 30- and 60-second warmup sketches. My accuracy is not very good yet, but I’m enjoying the challenge of having a minute or less. It forces you to see things in a different way–find the representative shapes and lines FAST!

This page of 17 30- and 60-second sketches is my contribution today for face #30. 30 faces in 30 days! Or 30 days of daily faces, since some days I’ve sketched multiple faces, as today.

I have an album of face photos on my iPad to refer to while I’m in the woods, but I’m giving myself permission not to draw at all, if making music (which is, after all, the whole reason for going to music camp!) is more compelling.

I’d like to get at least a few minutes in, but I’m letting myself off the hook.

Have a great week, and go get creating!

Part 2 of what I’m counting as face #29.

OMG! I just discovered the coolest site! http://bit.ly/1Q8ru3M is a drawing class in a box! It flashes images on your screen at intervals of different lengths, depending on the length of the class you choose.

It’s like a life drawing class, but without leaving your house!

You can choose from figure drawing practice, animal drawing practice, hands & feet practice, or face & expression practice.

And it’s FREE!

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been needing to help me loosen up and see quickly! I in so excited!!!! So face #29 today is actually 28 30-second sketches — this is page #1 of 2.

I head into the woods tomorrow, where there’s no internet, but am excited to come back to this after I get back. The forced time limit forces you to loosen up and just grab some representative details.
This is GREAT practice, and exactly what I’ve been lacking in my face practice.
Plus when I’m tired of faces I can draw other subjects. ?
So excited!
