A drawing of me from reference from about five years back

Drawing.

For the month of November, I’ve been trying to spend each week focusing on one specific aspect of painting. The first week of November, I was working on the start of my painting process. While I was doing that, I began to notice that my drawing was a bit wanting. In this case, I am referring to “drawing” as getting the right things in the right places on the canvas. I thought this week I would work on getting a bit more focused on my drawing skills. I’m starting out actually drawing, pencil and paper and whatnot. I think this quick drawing might be a bit more accurate than yesterday’s but there’s still a bit further to go, I think. As the week goes on, my plan is to transition to more “drawing” in paint - getting my paintings more accurately drawn in. I’ve got a few fun ideas about how to do this, and I’ll be exploring them this week.
