for love of drawing

Yep, it's completely unfinished. I have the hardest time drawing so I set myself to sketch using only color without doing an initial drawing first. I think when I use pencil and try to draw, I get so bogged down with erasing that I never commit to a shape or form. It's the same thing when I write. I delete so much that I never finish a sentence.

Color pencils are relatively new to me. I have been using markers since I started drawing again a few years back. I'm sure I used it when I was younger, but experimentally like this. In order to teach myself (although color pencils are relatively intuitive, there's some kind of learning curve), I decided to look at artists whom I admire. This is me emulating Kathy Hare's technique. I loved her button eyes, so I tried it too. Emulating is one way to learn, because you get a feel for how things are supposed to work. It can be a crutch, though, so I am trying to quickly find my own style, specially since I am trying out several different ones (see my previous post for my drawing yesterday).

I will probably finish this tomorrow. Maybe tonight if I'm lucky.
