It’s been a while since I posted anything drawing related. To be honest with everyone I actually put my pens and pencils away for a bit in order to concentrate on other things. Lately, I have been feeling an urge to pick up my pencils and draw again.
I must admit that I have missed drawing, I have missed the therapeutic feeling of just zoning out and drawing, to get lost in the details of a sketch, to truly observe your subject. When drawing, your mind tends to become hyper-focused on the task at hand and that allows the outside world, and it’s distractions, to disappear for a while. It is a nice break!
In the past, I have used the app Sktchy for a lot of my portraits and naturally, I went back to my old habits. The reference photo for this portrait can be found here. Below is my sketch, I hope you like it.
I think there will be more drawing content in 2019!
Thank you for visiting! As always, it is sincerely appreciated.
Your description of being lost in your drawing reminds me how I get lost in my carving. Thank the good Lord for hyper-focused tasks!

Thank you for liking my drawing “Milo” I too get lost in the process of drawing/scratching and find it a meditative practice. I like your work a lot.
