I feel that I have been in an artistic void. I have attempted the last couple of week's EDM challenges but produced nothing to show for my time. I haven't really felt like drawing.
I missed last weeks Life Drawing session and so accomplished nothing there either. So last night I had difficulty finding my comfort zone. I used some different mediums, some oil pastel (which I quite liked & will explore further) and some inks. The inks are gorgeous, with vibrant colours. I tried some bolder, freer lines; not attempting an exact likeness but more an impression of what was before me. Not happy with the ends results but at least I finally made a mark on paper.

At last night's Life Drawing class we had a local high school boy dressed as a mime. He is a drama student and as part of their studies they are required to do some work experience outside of school.
This shows the end result of my night's attempts. Earlier drawings have been collaged onto the last drawing I made. I am not happy with the 2 earlier drawings & now wish I had not stuck them down permanently.
I am quite pleased with the top drawing. It wasn't until then that I felt I had managed to capture the shape of his features. I might do some 'selective cropping' later.
The main drawing is charcoal & pastels with some ink used on the bottom images.
