Finishing portrait foundations. Doing some heads focusing on structure and getting the features to read.

One Minute drawing, morning cafe routine

This is Noa the model, with some Daniel Maidman influence. That man can draw the figure masterfully, pull the light from the toned paper, really love his work. I got it to a point where the sense of overworking starts to creep in. So this is final.

So I made it into the Royal Portrait Academy Exhibition at Hull Gallery. And getting the drawing over there was a real struggle. My museum glass was damaged. So i tried to get a new one. The gallery was closed because of illness and i had to do many phonecalls. And I am on the country so there was no alternative. So I got one on Amazon which took forever to arrive and it did just in time. Then the passepartout they send me was too small. Another one would have taken too long. So I had to cut one myself. Only had strathmore bristol for that. Then the DHL service here was full with schoolkids because they where buying all their new books there. I waited forever. Then their computer would not take the adress in UK. Until we gave up and I drove to another DHL Packing station. The Computer also did not take it. Then it turned out that express costs more than a hundred bucks and the computer HAS to take the adress for that. So i chose normal delivery. It said in 3-5 days it will be there. Yesterday was the last day for the gallery and my DHL said it has arrived. Today the gallery wrote me it is still not here. They give it another day or so.... And it is close. In York. Wish me luck. The struggle is real. My nerves cant take this guys 🥹 I aged 10 years. The hair I don't have turned grey. I can feel it. Edit : It arrived !

Yeesh, so I've pretty much spent the last month or two dealing with exams and projects. I was basically doing drawing exercises this entire time. I did manage to do lesson 2 and 3 though. Also got distracted trying to learn how go draw hands, which turned out pretty well. But finally holidays begin in 2 days and I've had an annoying itch to do some serious art practice for the last month. Just 2 more days. Here is anything I deemed notable practice from this time period, except the drawing exercises of course.
