Oh yeah! I was supposed to finish this two years ago.

Now it is time for the details. Be sure to pay attention to the darkest areas. Add the blackest blacks to heighten depth and contrast. Balance the darkest areas by adding them throughout the drawing. Don’t be afraid to leave some areas without detail, too. Depending on your style you may want to spend a lot of time bringing out all the detail, but even then having whitespace is important to creating depth. Good luck finding your happy medium.

You will need to use a coversheet now to protect your drawing. Don’t want to drag your hands through your work, do we?

If you’re pleased with the results, get some Spray Fix and protect your pencils. Good job!

Impromptu self-portrait. I think I look sad in this picture, but I'm just tired.

Using the ToyCamera app on my iPhone... I was teaching the Leprechaun how to read time signatures...again. Hopefully, she got it this time.

Finding ways to be creative when I'm bored as opposed to being depressed & bored isn't a new mission. but it isn't something I've actively worked on. I usually end up fiddling with my iPhone, reading email, browsing the web, or reading magazines, however.

Maybe by developing an interesting visual language with photography I can make better use of that downtime while I'm waiting for my art skills to get back up to speed. Here I am starting the mission at America's McBest while awaiting my turn to be seen.
