Outline of Man with Watch
I like this one as is: ambiguous, with no internal face parts. The man’s posture is relaxed. However he could be impatiently looking at his watch, waiting for someone.

Reclining Figure
I captured the relaxed and pensive mood in this expressionistic drawing.
Explaining to the Michelin Girl
Taking a break from posting my blind drawings. Here is a cartoonish representation of two people chatting, one apparently wearing a down jacket, the other in a sweater.
Man with Hair Parted Down the Middle Eating and Working His Phone
This is a better color experiment than yesterday’s. I also made use of the trough between the two sketchbook pages. I made it correspond with the part of the gentleman’s hair.
Asymmetrical Man

Young Lady with Difficult Face
In all fairness, the young lady in question was rather far away when I sketched her. So the difficulty of her face was my issue. At such a distance it was tough to pencil in the barely discernible shapes that made up her face. I like the rest of the drawing, which captures the subject’s […]
