Feb 17th: Quick Pen Life Drawings

Not much time to do art recently! Gah! Stupid life getting in the way of my art. Pssh. I busted out some quick sketches. One is of a girl on the computer where I work and the other is my fiance sleeping. I like to draw people when they aren't paying attention. It seems more real to me. Might be slightly creepy though...In my old college notebooks, there's so many drawings of the backs of people's heads in the margins. You can tell which classes were the most boring because they had the most drawings.

I find that trying to draw a figure that changes positions every few minutes is good for me. It forces me to draw quickly and not worry about details so much. If I focus too much on one aspect, they'll move and I'll be left with an incomplete hand or something. So it's better to just sketch like hell and see what comes out. I like the one of my finance sleeping the best. It's simpler than the girl at the computer and yet gets the point across. I think I like the pillows best.
