I just need an excuse to sketch.  Pencil and Paper is all you need to express your craft.  It is the simplest and un-messy way to get your artistic itch out of the way.  Portability is the key.  Start a sketch in the morning and in between chores, meals, and sips of tea you will have a lovely drawing/sketch by evening.

Yul Brynner, what a ruggedly handsome man.  He made baldness look sexy.  I remember watching him in The Ten Commandment, as a child and forever pictured Pharaoh as Yul.  I made this sketch today, so it is hot off the press.

I don’t watch Pakistani Dramas, but somehow I am following “mere pas tum ho” (I have you by me).  The lead actress “Ayza Khan” has beautiful angular features.  However, the drawing below is a slightly modified version of her,  I took some artistic liberty to adjust some features based on my artistic whim.  Shhhh! don’t tell her.

I have noticed that by making videos I have instilled more discipline in creating my work.  I create the work more efficiently and the painting/drawing looks better, as it does not have a belabored look.

This one is a copy of one of the masters from the past.  I did not bother to copy the likeness, as I was focusing on the skin-tones more.  Watch the Timelapse Video by <<Clicking Here>>

Here is a pencil sketch that I did sitting on my couch.  You gotta love the portability of pencils!  Watch the timelapse Video by << Clicking Here>>
