I stopped drawing shortly after doing these. I switched from visual art to writing, and have been locked into a message board and buried in books and practicing. I do want to get back to the drawing though, it would really be a shame not to keep pushing my skills after coming this far. I tend to get stuck in one mode though and just want to keep on in it. Hopefully I can work something out so I'm drawing a couple days a week or something. Hey. come to think of it, that's about all I was doing for the last few years anyway lol.
This is a personal journal documenting my studies in art - mainly just a place to keep notes and to organize my thoughts better than I could in a handwritten journal (you can't do a search in a paper journal, or post live links). My ultimate goal is oil painting, but I want to start with developing my grasp of the basics in drawing.

A couple of drawings from 2020
I didn't draw much last year, but here are a couple of heads. I think there's a real improvement on what came before.
The top one was completely from imagination, just a head exercise. This one is drawn from a framegrab of Roy Scheider in All That Jazz I think.
And a double-Fafhrd I did when I was trying to work out what the muscles around the armpit area do when the arms are raised. I like things about both versions, it lost something when I firmed it up and painted out all the pencil lines. It's supposed to be the bodybuilder pose called the double bicep, but it looks more like he's shakin' it on the dance floor.
