Figures.

So, during the last few (several) months I have been relying on the same excuse: I am too busy to tend to my *cough* artwork.

Then, I signed up for the sketchbook project (see last post) and that relit a fire in me. Unfortunately, I have hit a bit of a rough stitch. I was ambitious and opted to have a random theme assigned to me rather than choosing my own from the list of possibles.

My theme: Figuring Yourself Out.

I haven't the foggiest. I'm just going to use it as a sketchbook and work off-theme. Take that!

However, I did attend a figure drawing class a few weeks ago. My first in two years. I thought, "Figures, "figure yourself out," figures!" Why not? Then I remembered that I am not great at figure drawing.







Also, it's difficult to draw bodies in a tiny 6" X 8" sketchbook (My own. Not the one from the "project")

Alas, I am not going to be drawing many more figures. But I'm going to use the next week to get some projects finished. I just drew a really great tree for a friend.
My best yet.
Little victories!
