I will make this post brief because I just spent 10 min. deciding on how to spell the word sketch and started to doubt the spelling of Thursday as well. Sometimes words just don’t look right even when they are, does that ever happen to you? I had to go look  both words up!

I was chatting to my sister yesterday and she mentioned that drawing classes at university are getting shorter. I was disappointed by that news because my drawing classes were my favorite and most rewarding classes. This started me thinking about drawing and I realized that I need to do more of it. I am often working on drawings and doodling out ideas, but not in the same way as you would in a drawing class. So for my first sketch I worked from a photo of H. mainly because I have been meaning to sketch the subject matter for some time, but I think I would like to set up a still life or try some sketching of my son in action as well. If I am successful and anywhere close to being consistent on this I will post this work on Thursdays. I also need to find my white conte for highlights, I tried to use white acrylic on H.’s nose and other spots but it didn’t really work out. It feels good to draw like this again and I can really see how rusty I am.
