Isaac Asimov

Another portrait illustration.

Day 17
Pen on Bristol

Darwin

One of a set of 6 small portraits I am illustrating. They are challenging for me. I'm not good at drawing male faces, and this puts me outside my comfort zone of drawing pretty girls. But the men all have unique and interesting faces , so it makes it a little easier, although capturing the likeness can be difficult.

Victorian Chid

Victorian children are fun to draw. They look like miniature adults, and are usually in stiff proper poses. I also like that little boys had to wear dresses at a young age.

Day 4

Pen on paper.
I took this one into Photoshop to add the chair fabric pattern and give it a sepia tone.

Here is the original.

Drawing A Day

Inspired by following Daisy and Damon's drawing a day blogs, I've decided to try it myself.
I have been working too much on a computer and found myself incredibly rusty at drawing on paper.
Here's Day 1

From a book of late 1950s Sears Catalog Fashions.
I love how all the models are perfectly posed in the most stiff and uncomfortable ways. I also love many of the styles of clothing. This is one of my favorites.
