Woman with Headband
The latest sketch drawn from a picture of a bust. I don’t know who did the bust as I found it on the internet. It looked like it would be fun to do and though I don’t have the head tilt completely accurate, I am getting better at it.

Veiled Lady
Been working more on practicing copying classic sketches. I’m rather proud of this one. I got really close to the picture I was copying from. Had to make some changes on one of the sides when I realized the proportions were a bit off. But, that is part of the learning process.

Interlude
New painting. Was trying some things I have been learning. Then the eagles said they wanted to come out and play. Now, I am thinking of making the waterfalls start go away and maybe put in water with some far away islands. And darkening parts of the sky as well. Early stages, it can go…
