Three things happened today:
- My shoulder is feeling better.
- I have more time.
- I found the wonderful Earthworld thanks to Tina from Fuelled by Clouds and Coffee and started using it for reference photos.
The result is sketches 12 to 40 (yes, I got that many done in a single sitting). The fact that I have much better reference photos made such a huge difference, as I didn’t have to waste time digging through urban landscape photos in search for half decent portraits. Also, the Earthworld photographs feature People with a capital P – frumpy, old, ugly, real and incredibly beautiful to sketch. The great Leonardo Momento Zero Bohemia Twilight fountain pen with its fine nib and Diamine Fireside Snug also added to the fun – I love this pen and ink combo so much I’m likely going to use it for the rest of the 60 sketches.
So, now which one is your favourite? I have too many to choose from.
