Lunch Hour Sketch

I haven't had much time at work lately to draw. But the weather has been pleasant which always induces me to sit in the car with the windows down, listen to the radio or a book and spend the lunch hour drawing. A co-worker passed the newest In Style magazine on to me and I flipped through it looking for some subject matter. I attempted to draw this guy.

I didn't get the shape of his face right. Mine is too long. His eyes don't have the McConaughey twinkle either.

I need lots more practice.

But hey, practice makes perfect doesn't it? Maybe one day.....

    Portraits are so difficult to draw. I think you did a very good job with Mathew, you drew him the way YOU saw him, which I like.;)
    You are very talented and I like your carefree style.;))
    Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend.;))

    I think it looks very good. I can see who it is. He is a cutie, I have to say. I am trying to figure out the facebook deal. It seems harder than the blogging stuff. I love your pictures on the facebook too. I have to now figure out out to scan and I will put some photos up.

    I think the drawing is quite good, and by the way Joseph is a beautiful baby.
