  Copies from Jack Hamm’s book! Which one describes you? I did this sketch at lunchtime… along with the noses.The ‘stress’ I was feeling at the time seems to be expressed in this sketch. I just have too much going on at the moment and yet I WANT to spend the month drawing people. I...

  I was flat out today- no lunch break and 3 back to back meetings. However, after last nights inspiration, I found myself naturally observing the noses around the table.

Haven’t had the opportunity to do one of these for a while now… this means that I have been driving home after the peak hour and not that the traffic has been good! It will soon be too dark for me to see what I am doing… but I don’t suppose that will stop me!

Ok… here is the start of the monthly challenge for me. To start with I really didn’t realize how poor my eyesight is, for the purposes of drawing, without the aid of my glasses. But still I made an attempt though my (new) hairdresser (this is only the second time she has cut my hair)...
