I just happened upon this introductory level tutorial on how to draw a head. Some good general information about art supplies for sketching, too. It’s interesting to see how different people divide up the facial proportions. This one’s a little different than the classic eyes-in-the-middle-of-the-head version I learned. Also, the facial expression slider at the end is amusing.
We had the old two-bedroom tent for about ten years and finally wore it out. Joan got a new one for this trip.
I found a French watercolor journal I’ve had for 16+ years and never used. Great paper. I tried to get the dapple-light filtered through the trees, with only moderate success.
The kids were constantly rafting down the river just behind the tent. Their swimming clothes were likewise constantly drying on a clotheline alongside the tent.
Driving by myself up highway 101 to meet Joan and the kids in Big Sur – in the middle of nowhere the power goes completely out of the car. I coast up the nearest off ramp, Los Lobos Rd (“the wolves” road). There was a gas station, but upon closer inspection it had been boarded up and abandoned for years, weeds growing around it. Luckily I still got cell reception and help arrived in a couple hours. Not a good start to the annual camping trip, but the rest of the trip would turn out fine, thankfully!
Well, I’m off to go camping, just like this time last year. The kids and Joan have already been there a week. There won’t be any posting for a while – until next weekend. Hopefully I’ll have some sketching to post!
Another good use of chopsticks.
Our oldest cat has asthma, it seems. They took him away for x-rays and I stood there waiting in the examination room. Poor old guy.
Another digital color experiment.
Experimenting with some loose digital color over a sketch from yesterday afternoon.
