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.

I’m pretty happy with the way this one turned out. This is the third drawing I’ve done on Colourfix, and the first portrait (discounting Preston G). Its growing on me.

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.
