Since this is my weakest area I checked you out and was pleased to find your blog. Beautiful pictures, and what you have written so far has been informative. Please keep it up!<br /><br />I'm commenting against this post because it was interesting to see your portrait of Komachi. I have drawn her before, with probably my best portrait so far, the last drawing here: http://artfn.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/life-drawing-at-edinburghs-city-art-centre/<br /><br />I think it helped that I was concentrating on her whole figure, and so the face was drawn quite simply and just captured the basics. As you quoted from Walter Sickert in your first post ('don't fill up gaps for the sake of filling up'), my focus helped me to not do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
