Looking after a friend’s cat this weekend, so this is very appropriate!

OK, here’s my boring technical study from today… faces. I didn’t pick images with particular defined contrast, so that made it rather challenging. There are inaccuracies in my versions, but flawless reproduction wasn’t my aim. Just trying to understand facial structure and how it varies from person to person.

Thanks to the kind souls who sat with my in the ‘stream while I did the kid with the scrunched up face. Dat kid’s a FREAK!

Scrawny neck city!

I took a break from my technical studies and did this. It’s pretty messy but never mind… it’s just a piece of practice. Now back to the “proper” stuff :/

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.

From the last two lifedrawing classes. Still battling with proportion… and a host of other things. It was nice to do a series of 30 seconds poses though (not shown). It really helps to loosen up at the start of class.

I bought myself a pair of braces (and a shirt, waistcoat and suit, the last being on lay-by) last week, so busted them out for this week’s Formal Friday. By the way, that’s my pocket, not a suspicious bulge in my pants. I was enjoying the drink but not THAT much!
