I have been drawing more lately. Amanda gave me a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain," which has helped me learn a lot about self portraits. Here is one I just did.
I am planning to do a self portrait every month to see if I can improve. I may even draw portraits of the rest of my family. Don't hold your breath for one of Porter because he won't cooperate!
I also recently drew some animals that are supposedly here in Chile.

WOW Rabbit! You have done a great job on the shapes and proportions! So glad to see that you are drawing. After some more self-portraits like this, try working on adding shadows!
ReplyDeleteI used the same book when I was trying to learn about drawing. I really liked doing that exercise where you draw the frumpy old man in the rumply suit - did you do that one, too? Do you have an ipad on board? You've got to get an app called Drawing Pad... it costs a whole $1.99... and it is awesome! I wish I could attach one of the pics I've done, and if you get it, be sure to post what you do!
