Back in action

Well, first one back in quite a long hiatus. First, scanner fizzled out, didn't have a good camera, then work (Halo 4) went into full tilt crunch. ... Then, i just neglected the arts. But i plan to go further than I did previously and use these as warmup for the real drawing and painting!!!!

Self Portraits... And the reason for them.

These self portraits started off as a simple but effective way to warm up before a serious sketching session. I was really struggling to draw and come up with Ideas, and really struggling to even put the pencil to the paper. Then a challenge was put to me to draw self portraits for seven days in a row to simply get drawing again... I accepted that challenge and have since passed the initial mark of seven days, and the streak continues. As I continue forward, these drawings represent little glimpses into my person and they have taught me things about myself I never knew... one such thing is that I found drawing could be fun again.

It was then suggested to me that I post them so the world could see my dirty laundry. So I did.
