Day 7- Sketch of My brother Pete
A 30 minute sketch of my younger brother Pete watching T.V. Although not perfect- there is a definite likeness to him, and I think I captured his 'essence'. His lips are a too thick in this drawing and the eye looks a bit wrong, but overall I am quite happy with it.

Although far from perfect. I quite like how this turned out. I may try to use the same combination of fruit in different lighting conditions. I am finding drawing everyday is becoming very addictive and I want to practice all the time. I'm also finding it a bit of an 'escape'. Making time to draw is pure joy for me.
Day 5- Hands

I find drawing hands incredibly frustrating and I know how it 'should' look, and I know this isn't right. Although this attempt is better than my last. I do feel like I really lack confidence with drawing hands, and when I was in high-school I used to get around it by hiding my subjects hands in pockets!. It is something I would like to master, or at least get better at.

My first day of the drawing folio assessment task. I chose simple objects from around the home and on the table to work on. Each one was quick and not too bad considering I haven't really 'drawn' since Finn was born (18 months ago). I do feel rusty and stiff in the way that I approach the task, but even after these few sketches I could feel myself improving. I think my drawing skills are there, it's just a matter of practice and spending time and really looking!
