'My Lover Floated Away, but He Swam Back to Me!'
Portrait # 11. August 22, 2022.Sketch/Drawing for year the 2022. August 22, 2022.
By: The Great Mr. George D. Patnoe!
I have started another year of once-a-week portrait drawings/sketching. This one about 4 hours.
My only goal this week was to do a better drawing than last week. LOL.
That is true, but really, I am using my own technique to draw these portraits. Therefore, I have to experiment each time I do my own drawings/portraits because what the beginner does not know is that no matter how many Youtube videos they watch or how many art books they buy, they need about 10,000 hours of practice over years to get any good at drawing. Some people can draw faster if they practice a lot in one year. People need to practice because the brain is working on many levels to see something and then to use the muscles and fingers to translate it to paper.
This drawing was done with many types of pens and pencils and color pencils, on sketch paper. And some specialty pens and pencils too. Color Pens and Markers too.
It has been a long time since I have drawn portraits, so it will take a while for my brain and fingers to get warmed again. It has been about 6 years since I have drawn portraits.
Thanks for looking.
