wrong, I love being busy now. It's a nice change. And it's not that I don't have time to do art anymore, it's just that getting to some place with wireless after I've been working all day isn't exactly easy. Especially when the wireless places everywhere close at like 9. I know, excuses, excuses. Anyways, I've been working on the graphite portrait for probably 20 minutes a night. Just doing little things. The grid, ultimately, didn't work for me. I ended up erasing the lines and removing the photo from the grid back. Once again, despite the grid I found issues and had to correct them. His face was t
oo chubby and the eye on the right was too far up. Why, why, why do my grids not work? I need a new approach. Babies are more simple to draw as far as I'm concerned. They're proportions are wierd, but somehow this doesn't bother me. Also, maybe it's because most babies look alike when they're first born and so no one can really tell how badly I screw up! Haha. Just kidding. Maybe.
The photo that I'm working from is black and white which really helps with dete
rmining value. So far, I've only worked this drawing in HB, seeing as I can't seem to locate my 2H pencil... I think I might have left it somewhere in my previous job's building. I know, fabulous right? Anywho, it's much easier to see shading values and such when a photo's black and white.

Once I get the face where I need it, everything else will fall into place and then I can start on the knitted blanket of doom that this kid is lying on. Oh and 
bonus! The hat's knitted too... and so today I shall continue my endless string of corrections and keep wishing I could attend art school. Good news is that I got off early today and won't be too exhausted to draw.

Good news is that I got off early today and won't be too exhausted to draw. Randomly, between training and reading until my eyes fall out at my new job, I've been sketching things around the office on my legal pad. It helps the time pass when I'm waiting for my boss to come back and tell me what to do next. I'll probably post these sometime when I'm lazy and have nothing to post. Haha. The library allows laptops to check out now so I'll have internet for a few days... so no excuses if I don't have regular posts. Oh my internet! Where have you gone?! Why must you make my blogging so very difficult?
