I’m trying to learn how to sketch. It’s very much outside my wheelhouse. Still so much to learn.
Day 10: Mug
Day 9 PM: Female subject.
Day 9 AM: A new subject. I wanted to work on capturing reflection.
Day 8: A more refined version of Captain Jack.
Day 7: A new Subject.
Day 6: Changing things up today and I tried “blind sketching” where I did not look at the paper (or more accurately my tablet surface while drawing. The result:
Day 5 Update: Further refinement of Day 4’s sketch.
Day 3 pm and Day 4 Update: Trying to get a better likeness, but seeming to look more and more like a police sketch. Haha.
Day 3 Update: In this one I referenced a photo for proportions. I focused more on getting the shading right around the eyes to capture the brow structure.
Day 2 PM Update: In sketches #3 and #4 I worked on getting the facial feature’s more appropriately located (i.e. eyes centered).
Day 2 AM Update:
Original Drawing (Day 1):
Be well,

Thanks. For some reason I find sketching much more challenging then other digital art forms. I’d love to take some lessons sometime.

The dog sketch is quite good. Everything else is better than I could ever accomplish. I did do a couple of blind sketches back in the day and I enjoyed that. It’s fun.

It’s fun trying. This is all on a digital tablet. I’ve never been able to do paper but I might try again sometime. Thanks for the feedback. Makes my day!
