Food Sketches 02

I didn't bring my scanner with me so I'm using a webcam. I can't decide between getting a portable watercolor set, watercolor pens, or watercolor pencils and a brush pen with a water reservoir. I want something unobtrusive I can pull out while at a restaurant or during a meal, but will give me a range of colors and hues. Watercolor pens seem the most convenient option but I don't want to be limited by only two or three colors. The pigments doesn't blend well so I can't get away with blending primaries to make more colors.

Self portrait

This is an older piece, some of you will probably remember it from when I had it posted on the comic blog. I had planned on doing a series of self-portraits to practice drawing from life. Unfortunately, I got busy and depressed...a deadly combination. I'm posting it again as a renewed start to the exercise.

Pencil on paper

Here is a shot of my pose just for reference. Its difficult to get an accurate portrait when my pose changes slightly every time I move my head to look down at the paper. I'm happy just to get a likeness eve though the proportions are a bit off. Apparently, my head isn't as round as I think it is. Haha!
