So here’s the latest portrait update. I am starting to render in the hair and clothes. I am just awe struck, she is coming to life before my eyes.

This is the first update for this portrait of a baby girl. To begin I worked a very light sketch, I am hoping it is still legible over the web. Due to the media being a very dark pencil with white highlights I wanted to sketch lightly as not to pose problems later as I start to shade the lightest areas of the drawing. Hope to get even more done this weekend.
Headache After Headache….

I apologize if this comes across as a complaint or whining. I have been dealing with headache after headache, due to the weather and some muscle issue. One of these days I will hunker down and illustrate how a migraine feels visually. I have had a frustrating week progress wise. Any ways Friday was supposed to be a work day, but due to a headache and faulty lighting in my studio, I didn’t make much progress. Sadly my lighting woes won’t improve for about a week or so. My back up bulbs, apparently were already being used. And of course they are special and had to be ordered. So reinforcing the idea to check supplies and make sure I am prepared. This time I hope I have learned my lesson.

A good work day. Started to progress more with blacks and grays. There is quite alot of detail in the folds around his mouth. With my new pencil sharpener the drawing is moving much better. I love the needle-like points its giving me. Hoping to continue in my groove and keep going.
