Being gone for ten days, I see all the things that need to be done. Darkening of shadows around the eyes, correction to the bottom lip and darkening of the background and hair. I had a lot of fun while in Tennessee, my mind always wandered back to Dustin though. I don't think I will be taking another ten day vacation from my drawing. Next time I will remember to bring my sketch book and pencils. (both of which were a graduation gift from my high school art teacher) With all this drawing I am doing I might have to finally replace my set, I have a small sentimental attachment to them. My first real set of drawing pencils, they probably will go in my keepsake box.
While on vacation I was asked if I ever had any formal training. I answered that, "why yes, my high school art teacher was also an artist." An excellent artist, drew lots of surrealist art. My senior year I took as many art classes as possible. That's it folks, a little talent, a little determination, hard work and lessons from a high school art teacher. Oh and practice, every little bit counts. Rome wasn't built in a day.
