We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times.

A better outcome from traditional drawing.
After yesterday's terrible attempt at traditional drawing,  just couldn't leave it.  I needed to be successful at it.  So this morning I grabbed the nearest sketchbook and my trust graphite and etched away to create this portrait of someone I'm sure we're all familiar with. Can you guess who it is?

Some bits need to be touched up/made darker.  But it was just a quick half an hour drawing. Although that's pretty long for me at the minute. I'm far too used to 30 second blind drawings! However, I'm much happier with this outcome as opposed to yesterdays.  However, I suppose I should attempt to tackle the huge amounts of work I have to do before I go back to college.

And I just thought I'd share with you all that after months and months of telling myself that I would, I FINALLY got my tragus pierced in a spur of the moment.  The only problem is that as soon as I came out of Bodycraft Nottingham I immediately wanted to back in to get something else pierced. Damn my addictive personality!

P.S. Would love to hear what you think about all my work and your opinions!

    1. Thank you! Well I don't really draw like this anymore, sort of gestural lines now, just thought I'd try traditional drawing again :P Well if it's any consolation I desperately want to learn to play an instrument! Envious of musical people like yourself!
