Hmmm.....
Chihuahua Pearl, by Jean Giraud, by me. Pastel.

Testing out new materials...

I overworked this drawing, making it lose the impact that the beginning sketch had. 

But I found myself drawing more fluidly than before I started to play with pastels. :)

I've been busier than usual in the last 2 weeks. After Christmas I may be able to get back to actually doing a drawing a day! 

Life drawing yesterday. On the second page, top left, the head is probably a bit too small.... :P

Another pastel from photo...

A quick copy of the pastel on the front cover of "How to Draw Heads and Portraits" by José M. Parramón.

Taken with the webcam on my laptop -- bad quality, but convenient.

 

My brother Marc doing one of his favourite facial expressions.

I've been looking through some Moebius work. Miyazaki, John Sanden and Carl Larsson too.

First 3 pics are from life drawing I went to on Wednesday. I felt like I couldn't really capture the figure the whole session (2 hours), until right at the end when I sketched the projector - looks just like it!
Last one is pen on paper, I tried to do it as fast as I could. Comments/crits please!
