October 27 - Sick Day - Victorian Village/High St.

So on the 27th I was feeling like I had been hit by a couple semi trucks so after sending out an email to Patrick I decided to lay down for a bit. I had a back up plan for drawing though. My mom was going to go out to the Great Clips in Victorian village so I figured I'd just deal with being a bit sick for hopefully no more than a half hour and go with her and draw there.

Well my mom's version of a hair cut is apparently only a trim that takes less than 10 minutes. Since I assumed we were going to be there longer I started on a drawing that would take a bit longer. I got most of it done in the 10 minute range but it's a little obvious that part of it is missing but it's not horribly bad.

After we left she decided she needed to stop at UDF. She had be stay in the car for obvious reasons but she parked right in front of the door which was great for me. There were a couple cops in line ahead of her so I decided to do a quick drawing of them.

On the way to UDF I also managed to draw a picture of someone walking that didn't turn out so bad. The feet got cut off though because I didn't realize I was drawing at the bottom of my page. I'd also like to point out that at first I thought the woman in the Great Clips drawing was standing on her tiptoes at first but quickly found out she was actually wearing stilettos....cutting hair...wearing stilettos.... Hm..

Also...I miss drawing in pencil...

  1. Jessica,
    The figures in these show varying degrees of success. I'm glad you stuck it out and drew while under the weather. Try to make more committed marks when putting down structural elements.
    The top drawing is the best for its degree of completion and composition... just avoid blocking in values - use shading for light sources.

  2. Haha, this is such an interesting collection of settings! The hair salon one is really neat; I love the character drawn into the woman who's cutting the hair. :)

    Sorry you didn't feel well!!
