I’ve made some fair progress on this drawing, but hadn’t posted any updates because I’ve been pretty unhappy with it. I spent a lot of time this morning with a roll of scotch tape pulling up mistakes, and while I’m still not pleased with how its going, I’m feeling better about it.

While being disgusted with that one, I started a second one that my wife has been asking me to do for a while now that will hang next to Clara, Profile. Since today is her birthday, I figured now was a good a time as any to get started on it.

With any luck I’ll be able to finish it for her today. At worst, tomorrow.

I was sick with a wicked cold most of last week so haven’t drawn a thing since I finished the pears for the Virtual Sketch Date. Feeling a bit rusty, quite honestly. Here’s an hours worth of work from this morning on a new drawing of my son:

The center and right pears need additional work, but nearly there. The next time I post an update of this one it should be the finished drawing.

I thought it would be fun to participate in this month’s virtual sketch date, so here’s the beginnings of my piece based on the reference image.

I also second Katherine Tyrrell’s suggestion in the comment thread (no permalinks for comments, blogspot?) to create a Flickr group for this.

Most likely the next update will be the finished drawing. And who knows, I might have even decided on a title for it by then.
