It's Friday

   Hi everyone. It's once again the end of the week, and that makes it time for Nicole's Friday Face Off and also Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.

    Awhile back Nicole challenged us to create a portrait, and today's the day we're going to share them. With a background in biology, I have always been interested in bones. So today, let me share my bone portrait. I hope you like it.

    This is as far as I got, and I based it on this scientific drawing.

    At this point my drawing looks like there are eyes tucked deep into each socket and that this guy is looking at us. 😳  

   Several years ago I took a 5 week drawing class through adult education at one of my local schools. After the class ended, several of us from the class spent the summer meeting one night a week and drawing together.

 I learned that I like to do shadows by using my stump and even drawing with the built up carbon on my stump. All those lighter lines on my face is what you get when you stump draw.

  And if you don't know what a drawing stump is, it's a tool usually used for blending. 

  I'm keeping this post short today. have a great Friday and weekend ahead.
