My brother in law's wedding anniversary is around the corner and he asked me to do a portrait of him and his wife. He originally requested a portrait of them with their pets all around (that's at least 8 -- cats and dogs put together), but I managed to talk him out of it. Pfeeeeeew.
I took a couple of pictures this morning of my friend's little Matthew, who was born 6 weeks ago. I did a quick sketch at school based on my iPhone photo but like many others before that, didn't finish it. Which is probably for the better, since it was starting to look like him less and less!
I see faces in the news, and I want to record them in my Moleskine. I don't know who they are, and for that reason maybe, I don't feel a strong urge to finish them.
Drawing is sometimes just a good excuse to listen to music. Tonight I was listening to The Frames .
I've wanted to draw my father in law for a while, and this alone took me a couple of hours tonight. I am always much slower when drawing the features of people I know. The idea is to finish it one day -- and show it to him. He might get a good laugh out of it.
I have spent the past few days missing our big gray cat Marvin. He had to be put to sleep last week, and I haven't been able to draw for beans since then.
