6 mediocre drawings – will make more of an effort next time :)

Sometimes you just don’t feel it. I’m pretty unsatisfied with the three dog drawings above. It’s a result of being a bit too sleepy and or careless while drawing – which reflects in the end result. The cat in charcoal was an attempt for a commission drawing. I haven’t done a lot of charcoal before, but when someone requested a charcoal portrait of her cat as a commission, I went with it. I think that I’ll start over with a drawing in ballpoint pen, since these work a little better for me πŸ˜‰

I don’t have a lot to add – but I hope that I can post something that I’m a little more proud of next time!

  1. Your “mediocre” is better than a great day of mine! Love your technique, love to get an e-mail that you have posted and even if I don’t leave a comment, I rush to see what you have done. You get better and better – once I get moved into my own home I am taking a lesson of “one daily drawing” from you and once again get my pencils to paper. Thank you for the inspiration and the privilege of seeing your beautiful work!

    • Thank you very much for commenting. What a great concept of sprezzatura! I didn’t know about that one, but it really makes sense. Well, except that the few sketches that went wrong here, really ARE bad, there’s nothing conscious about it πŸ˜‰
