I was going to do ...I do precisely the same thing! I was going to do more in pencil, less in ink (as you know) for the watercolors. And I haven't done it. And I'm thinking more and more about acrylics. (Haven't touched 'em yet). And I'd love to sketch in watercolor, and lay down both ink and watercolor (I was thinking about this today)- excellent that you are doing this!<br /><br />Also without being political, your first drawing looks to me like a Chicago gangster from a 50's movie! I like all three sketches, runny ink or no! Corina is adorable, and the last one (again without being political) looks like William F. Buckley, Jr. to me. ;)Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114458486830993270.post-37405886387855895982010-02-15T18:08:52.493-07:002010-02-15T18:08:52.493-07:00Oh, I do the same thing too!

I imagine it is your curiosity about experimenting with different media that keeps you from sticking with one thing.

I swear I'm ADD and I jump from one project to another. Just don't let it freeze you up until you can't do anything at all. Then you know you'll need an artist intervention and have to get all your artist friends together and go on a retreat somewhere awesome.... ok, I'm getting carried away. :) Great sketches, I'm amazed they are so small. Wonderful wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
