Female Face in Pen: Catching Depth of the Face

This is a rapid sketch of a female face. I had just finished looking at a book of textile patterns from Mexico and the cheekbones of a photographed woman draped in colorful fabrics caught my eye. I sketched her after I turned the book into the library, so this likely does not look anything like the actual woman in the photograph.

The cheekbones were very important to this sketch. I was playing around with the idea of catching depth through lines. That is why the neck is vertically divided into parts.

I just noticed that the faint shadows of the drawings on the previous pages are slightly visible. That was not intentional.

I hope you like this! 

River and the Sea

An arrow, blue, points at a floating spot of purple graffiti. In the right hand corner, a partly visible skeleton dances. Rays of blinding white light. I like this a little, just due to the random blobs of color here and there.

I did this using a mouse and sketchbook pro, 2011. I hope this isn't as visually ugly as the "migraine headache" drawing.

I have a lot of free time this summer, so I will likely be adding more drawings.

Thanks for stopping by!
