Doodle 1

Sorry for the long hiatus!  I've been incredibly busy with school, and I just finished!  I drew these sketches while on the plane back home, so they're a bit messy...I also didn't have any pencils on me, so I immediately drew with pen, which explains the messiness... 

The top work is based on one of 's (check out her work if you haven't -- it's utterly inspiring!) pieces -- I had a picture of one of her works on my phone, and I wanted to draw off her work as inspiration.  I mostly wanted to see if I could recreate a specific angle of the face (which I actually failed to capture, but at least I tried!). 

The second piece is based on a rose reference. Expect some more rose pics! I want to do another set of sketching references similar to my skull sketch collection, but with roses this time.  Hopefully I follow through... 

I'm flying back to school in a week for summer classes, so I won't have too much time to draw. That being said, I think I'll mostly be posting up sketches and doodles and working on my overall technique.  

I apologize to everyone to whom I promised requests -- I don't think I'll be able to get to them anytime soon, since my schedule will most likely be packed soon.
