I am just obsessed with drawing these days.  I’m still not good at it, but for the first time ever, I have a belief that if I keep doing it, I will get better. Today I found a great lesson on faces at Drawspace.com.  They have dozens of free lessons on everything from cartoons to perspective to shading..and on and on.  They are all free to read on-screen, but $25 if you want to download them.  They also have a few courses but those are quite expensive.  I find the free lessons to be very thorough and helpful.  The one I am currently working on is about drawing the proportions of faces.  You can see it here.

I ordered that Artist’s Datebook from a seller on Amazon.  I got a different book from them that is letters for secretarys.  I let them know and they immediately shipped my book and told me to keep the wrong book.   The secretary’s book has great paper.  Those nice, thick aborbent type.  It just so happens that I’m on the last few pages of my current journal, so I made the accidental book into my new journal!

I have never made a journal cover that I really liked.  I see others’ journals with these beautiful covers, but I just can’t get the “cover muse” going, I guess.
