Another Wednesday, Another Sketch

So I used another sketch group Wednesday to experiment on a larger scale. This one I guess is almost lifesize. Still trying to get down the shading and maybe one day I'll get down to actually getting the detail in the hands...This is hanging up now so I can look at it often to see where I can improve...

It's Been A Long Time Since I Left You...

Ok...so I'm back, I've been idle for awhile, dealing with the issues of life..a separation, pending divorce, and move into my top secret artists' lair in the city of ATL. I have been keeping busy though, sketching and now welding again. I haven't however been being public about it. Here's my latest sketch, done in a 3 hour session last week. I'm pretty happy with it so far, deciding how I want to finish it. I can tell I focused most of my attention on the face and upper body, not so much on the arms, hips, or chair...but overall I'm pretty pleased.
