...in awkward but refreshing eye contact...

All I really have to report are a few more sketches...

I am feeling much better...though not fantastic, but better.

I don't know how old this is...I didn't see that I had posted it anywhere else, if I have, I apologize.
It appears to be an older man...and a woman...and stuff...


Filling in a page I'd previously scanned...The man in the lower left...really looks like that...See?

Tonight I was at the B&N cafe because it is closer to the gym, and has a slow enough turn over of people that it facilitates longer studies if I choose...which I still tend not to. There was a girl who studies there on a regular basis and who undoubtedly has gathered that I draw people...Tonight was her turn, and she was very clearly aware I was looking at her, which made it hard. I didn't get to look up for reference for more than a second at a time so the drawing is pretty simple...Also...pretty people are hard to draw. They tend not to have marks or blemishes which make them identifiable, or shapely, instead, smooth skin which can't be marked etc...it's hard to draw so perfectly with so few marks...I need to work on that. It is a similar hangup to why I am never satisfied with my drawings of Sam.

So...to the girl at the B&N cafe...you are really cute...i'll buy you coffee or whatever if i can draw you...BUT...i am utterly head over heels for another girl, so...coffee and company?(cheesy enough? "my name's colin and i draw pretty pictures!") cough...good thing no one reads this.

...in...

Just some more "life drawings" and miscellaneous sketches from yesterday.

I realized I had somehow managed to skip a page in my book so I tried to see what I remembered from figure drawing/anatomy. I'm all too certain that only about 2 muscles are right/in proportion, but a good number of them are INCLUDED at least...

Four faces, facing Four directions.

...in regards to behavioral disorders.

It's been another hard few weeks. Just a few thumbnails and sketches for now.


Work on the "Force of Nature" painting. Slow progress due to refusing to work on it.




"Preoccupation (behavioral disorder)" March 2008




A thumbnail for one of my stories which I may get around to fully illustrating someday, but most likely not so much.
