Back to Basics

After two years of suppressing a voice in my mind planted by several art teachers, I've finally decided to start drawing again - hoping to make it a daily routine. I hope to use my blog as a record, scanning and adding my fledgling efforts here. I've decided to not focus on finishing each drawing but instead pick a new subject each day and leave it after an hour, moving on each day. Above is an unfinished portrait in pencil along with the original magazine clipping from a San Diego tourist magazine. Below is another magazine clipping with the unfinished portrait and two that I altered digitally.

I am happy to introduce you to Byron, a photograph by Rodney Smith who has given me his blessing to use this image as a focus for digital or non-digital art (creative commons not for profit!)

If you would like a jpg of Byron so you can join in and show me where he 'fits' into your current creative endeavors, leave a comment or drop me an email at twodressesstudio@shaw.ca and I'll send him off to you. And when you're done, let me know and I'll post your art with Byron here with a link back to your site! Thanks for visiting!
