I haven't actually designed and coded a website in years. I'm having so much fun!

It's amazing how much a structured academic program inspires personal creative work in what little free time you have.

I haven’t been posting lately but I’ve still been creating. My first small acrylic exercise, a sphere painted with 2 colors (pink & white). I honestly expected it to be much worse!

A portrait sketch I’ve been working on over the past couple of days and my latest Bargue plate.

The final foot. I’m really happy to be finished with the feet! It’s all weird and swollen looking but that’s what the plate looks like 😅

I don’t know what this drawing is on the cover of my sketch pad but all I can see is the head of a penis. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

After days of frustration on the last foot, this one was much more fun and relaxing!

It took me 3 days to get this foot right! It looked deceptively simple but the proportions kept throwing me off. Finally success!

I got behind posting the past couple of days. Here’s a catch-up on my current Bargue plates.

Second pass looks so much better!

It’s for a local gallery show due next month. I’m going to put her on stained wood.

The theme is the muse and it must feature the human form.

I never had much luck with the loomis method. Today I tried drawing a portrait using the methods used in the Bargue plates and it was sooo much better!!

Continuing plate 3. It’s starting to take longer to do individual sketches.

So, I learned you’re supposed to do the Bargue plates in order. Makes sense in hindsight. I finished plate 1 yesterday.

Currently working my way through the Bargue plates. No official casts, just images I’m finding online.

They’re quite enjoyable! Anyone have any experience with them? Any advice? #artists #blueskyartists #art #drawing #pencil #sketch #bargueplates
