Art-a-Day: "Silly Glasses"

"Silly Glasses"

So, the hardest part of this sketch is those doggone glasses. Wow, you know it really pays to go slow in the beginning and get the basic structures down well.

I hurried.

I didn't want to spend a lot of time, I figured I can get it right first time this time.

But, nooooooooo.

Oh well, I haven't done graphite portraits for a looooong time and I really like doing them. So, this is it for today here at Art-A-Day.

btw: This is supposed to be a fairly famous actor who is up for a Best Supporting Role this year. Can you identify him?

Welcome to Art-a-Day!

Care To Join Us?

The idea is to challenge yourself creatively every day for the month of January. Wherever you do your work, however you do your work, just show up every day and do it. It’s that simple. How to challenge yourself is up to you – but do challenge yourself & share your experiences here on this blog. This is a fun & powerful experience if you allow it.

-Show up.
-Trust the process.
-Share it.

Do I Have to Blog Everyday?

No. Though it's a good thing, a fun thing, and highly encouraged at least now and again. Some participation lets us know you are on board, inspires others and may be used to determine eligibility for inclusion in a show (if we have one).

Do I Make Art Everyday?

Yes. That is the commitment.

Art-a-Day is self-regulating

It is very loose; however diligence is expected because that's what makes it expansive -for you. That is, you commit yourself in whatever fashion you can to "doing" art every day. Add to your piece each day or create something new, it’s up to you. It might mean folding a paper napkin while you are on an airplane flying across the globe because that's all you could do that day - but it was intentional.

Questions?

Still have questions or want to join the challenge? Don't hesitate to ask - you can add a comment to one of my posts.

Joyful creating!
