Finally started drawing again!

I'm working my way through the book, The Artist's Way, and I feel that because of doing those morning pages, I have finally gotten to start drawing again.  Nothing spectacular or wonderful.  As a matter of fact, to complete the first one I had to use a grid system to get the spacing and sizing correct.  Here it is:

Then the next week I tried to draw without the grid and did not do so good, but I still like the picture.  I am planning to work some more and tweak parts of this picture and will show you again when I feel it is finished.  I liked this picture because the girl in it has the largest eyes I have ever seen on a person. 

I think her nose is too long and her jaw is too weak, so will be working on those issues.  Otherwise, I really think it looks like the girl in the picture I used to draw from.

More to come later!

I actually started another picture! I can't believe it!

With this new year, one of my goals was to do some kind of art every day.  I broke out my sketch book and I have been drawing in it, but not every day.  I found a great video class on increasing your creativity through the use of a sketchbook, so I am about to begin. 

As I was sitting in my studio sketching, I turned around and saw the pencil drawing I had done months ago and put up on my easel.  So, I found my pastels and I started working on it.  I don't think it will be a masterpiece, but it felt good to be working again. 

Here's where I am so far, but there is so much more to do.
