Life and Advertising







Today he was waiting and I was waiting. 'Twas the perfect opportunity for a sketch in my Moleskine. And he hardly moved. Since I had a lot of time, this sketch is a lot more detailed than virtually all of my sketches from life.












Here is a page from my large sketchbook. I wanted to concentrate on hands, but hands alone are boring so I found myself drawing more than just hands. My source for these sketches were advertisements in a magazine, a good source.






Ahhh. So much to draw - so little time. Don't you agree?

  2. Hi Dan. I learned of your blog through Janey's post on EDM. I started a blog about the same time you did, www.raenassketchjournal.blogspot.com, and wanted to send lots of encouragement your way. You do wonderful work! I do wish I had the courage to draw in public. I find most of my "people" sketches from online photo groups.

    Found your blog through Janey and am so thankful she provided the link. Your work is terrific and I will definitely be checking back in from time to time. Keep up the great drawing!

  4. Thank you, Raena & Danny, for your enthusiasm about my drawing. I had a bit of a rough time last night. I set up acrylic paints, but my son's needs made me have to put them away before I had barely begun my first painting in years! Painting is what I really want to do - bummed me out. So I woke up to your encouraging comments & am ready to keep marching forward.
