This drawing encouraged me to work with height more. This drawing was used for the background of a poster for a benefit we were holding at the school. I need to work on the human figures and how they move, not just profile drawings. Here, most of the figures have the same back leg position which doesn't help it them to look like they are creeping up, but more just hanging around looking for bugs in the cracks of the rocks (which isn't bad but I intended it to have more motion). I'd also like to have more going on. It would be great to add more drawings to it, along the side for instance. It would create more of a story but still, this is probably the most attractive trait of this drawing to me because it encourages stories so well.

Sketchbook, beginning of May
My favorite is the little catman. He has a choppy and scratchy meow, mew, mow.Texture Texture. I hope to expand on that and detail. Freckles and wrinkles are the most comfortable yet challenging to draw. Well, I suppose that not drawing them makes it harder because I have to pay more attention to the basic shapes and shadings so that it will look full and finished even without them. Both the people were pictures from library books. A book on Julia Margaret Cameron provides profile pictures that im very attracted to draw. I prefer to draw elderly so working off her photos provides a new practice for me of drawing youthful people.

Stay under the tent (statement of intent)
I aim to use as many textures as possible. Recently I've been wearing my magnifying glass around my neck in search for textures that we would not normally see and have also been paying attention to the small strip drawings in children's books at the beginning or end of each chapter which has encouraged me to add boarders around the drawings. These are the sorts of small accenting drawings I plan on creating. Some more things I plan on practicing though my drawings, collages, contrast (to help understand the middle grounds of light and dark), still life, and most importantly, will be practicing the basic human figure (in the form of Native North American clowns).
