Old stuff!


I may as well post the old stuff and work out how to manage this blog. Blogger seems to tell you how to do everything but move the photos around. My technical advisor (DH!) is away for the next two weeks so everything may go pear shaped!

Anyway, this are old drawings done with what looks like an HB or softer. I think they look a bit of a mess but I like how I did Joni's face. It's mostly blank white paper with the minimum of pencil work. Hmm, maybe I should do this again, it would be quick. In all my drawings, I don't leave any white except for the tiny highlights in the eyes and on the nose. I really enjoy shading large areas without lines, like necks but I can see from this guy's, I hadn't got it right yet! (He's wearing a white hat, don't tell me his head is all wrong too!)

Felicity, I've been enjoying reading your entries here. Lovely blog. I'm a huge Joni fan, and I'd say you really got her here from that Hejira album. I always loved that photo of her with those phenomenally high cheekbones of hers. Your work is really beautiful!
