Just practicing drawing hands…

She’s on the run… and yeah, that “she” is me — or was! Way too many years ago. This was in St. Augustine, Florida.

This sketch was based on a reference image provided in the ArtTutor.com class “Drawing the Human Figure & Life Drawing Techniques”.

I was checking out the Artists Network “Drawing Together” site, and the 100th episode features drawing a slice of cake. This is my quick sketch attempt. I used graphite instead of charcoal.

I only had 15 minutes today to do any drawing or sketching at all, so this is Simba, one of my two cats. His face is wonky; the front paw is probably the most accurate part of the sketch.

My favorite flower: this was based on a recent trip to the “Dallas Blooms” show at Dallas Arboretum.

Another hand based on the Crilley book…

This speaks for itself, and is based from the awesome book Mark Crilley’s Ultimate Book of Drawing Hands.

This drawing is based on a photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash which was used in the ArtTutor.com “How to Draw Portraits (in Graphite) by Phil Davies.
I did this portrait using charcoal and graphite.
