Why do my sketches always look better in person? #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #art

Not great, but for a quick sketch, not too bad. Just trying to get better at drawing portraits. #sketch #sketchbook #art #staedtler

First off, I would like to say that your artwork I'd amazing. I love your figure studies. I have started some figure drawing sessions, at my local art gallery, and strive for my artwork to get to the level that you have achieved. I post other artist's artwork, on the gallery's Facebook page, to try to get more people involved and to show them examples of different artist's figure studies. I love your comments about the "failed" drawings and wanted to know if you would object to me sharing your art and comments on our gallery's Facebook page. We would credit your art and comments, of course. Thanks.

Yet another experiment of mine. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been playing with the idea of combining detailed internal rendering with simplified, gestural contours. I’m not sure yet exactly where it will lead, if anywhere, and by no means have all of these tests been successful. Remember that the life drawing session is a place to learn, experiment, and take risks. For every good drawing we produce there are ten more that we can hardly bear to look at. But those “failed” drawings are every bit as important as the successful ones. Leaving the session with new information and avenues for exploration is more important than leaving with a stack of pretty drawings. - Micah

Unfinished drawing from 2006. Pencil/pen and ink. Got ref pic online.
