The year is young but my January seems to have a theme already. Portraits.

I’ve drawn people 4 of the first 5 days and I’ve really enjoyed capturing folks in a variety of sketchbooks using various media. 

Platinum Carbon Black ink on prepainted background. 

Child’s 4-color pencil on mixed media paper. 

Ink and watercolor pencil on thin sketchbook paper. 

Watersoluble ink and watercolor. 

The more I practice, the more comfortable I am sketching random people but now’s the time to focus on drawing my friends and family more often. Most are strangely absent even though they mean so much to me. I think this is the year to rectify that.
