This is a favorite sketch! When I was done with the sketch of the woman (see 4/23/11), I looked around and spotted this very interesting man across the lounge. He had a dark complexion, long dread locks, this white shirt a necklace and was holding a great pose (he was texting on his cell phone)! I have never attempted any one with dread locks before, since no one with dread locks ever posed for me until this day, so I was very excited, as long as he didn't move!
I am so happy with these results. Of course, he did not have a clue that he was being sketched! What fun was having! I so wish the reference picture
out better, but I was trying to not get caught. I included the third picture that my husband took of me drawing (he does not do any art on paper, but he does wonders gardening and he is very supportive my endeavors!). Yes, I realize it is sideways. I did rotate it in the computer, but when it transferred to the blog, it remained sideways. Sigh. That will be another day of learning how to do this correctly, but, in the meantime, I have a blog to write, so just turn your head to the side and you can see my set up. I want you to notice that I carry my pencils in a toothbrush holder, it works fine, you don't need anything expensive or fancy. I had placed the menu to the right to conceal what I was doing, but when it came time to take the picture, I simultaneously moved the menu and my hat forward, and placed my camera in front of the menu, to conceal what I was doing! I wish I could have zoomed in better, but I was getting nervous and had to do this quick! That's it for sketching in San Juan, next there is sketching all over the cruise ship! Keep reading!!
