Slowly getting there... at least I don't look 20 kilos fatter like on the last one. I think the lips are ruining the likeness, but I just couldn't make it better.

I also did some Caravaggio heads for my "50 heads challenge" and here are two that turned out decent:

Colored pencil on some blue-gray paper, I think it's Canson.

I watched the movie yesterday, and I loved the humanoid felines so much I had to make my own avatar :)

~2,5 hours in Photoshop.

Still not looking enough like me. Oh well.

Charcoal and white pencil on brown wrapping paper (40x60cm).

More drawing class. I decided to try watercolor because I suck at it, which is pretty obvious from exhibit No.1:

So today, I tried again. For the first I had a small statue as a reference. Still sucking.

And the other one was from a book about Lipizzan horses. Of course, the scanner ate most of the very subtle tones, but nevermind.

I think the last one is not so bad.

Well, okay, I know some things are off. Once you stand back and look at the drawing mistakes just glare back at you accusingly... But it was too late to fix them. Or maybe not. Maybe I fix some things later. But for now this is it.

Dry pastel on brown paper (40x60cm).

My today's assignment was to draw the figure in shades of blue. Dry pastel on brown paper (40x60cm).

I'm back to drawing class after a few months break. Here's an ink figure and a dry pastel figure on brown paper. This is my first time using dry pastel, so I think it's pretty fine.

I wasn't home yesterday (reason: the fabulous Tori Amos concert in Ljubljana), that ruins my "at-least-one-drawing-a-day" plan, but let's continue like nothing happened.
Another try at self-portrait, it didn't go so well, but at least I know what I'll look like if I put more weight on.

A simple composition of brushes.

I bought a new tablet today, Wacom intuos3 (A4). It's huge, it can't fit on my desktop, and it took me a while to get used to this size (my old Genius was A6). The feeling is quite different.
My drawing skills haven't improved, though :D
This is the first time I tried to draw my entire face, actually. Referenced from a mirror. It took about an hour.
