Sketchbook Skool - Seeing - Week 2

Well Koosje's class for "Seeing" was really enjoyable, the homework that she set for us was to do a "selfie" a day:-

• 2 from a photo
• 2 in the mirror
• 2 contour drawings (single line, no taking the pen off the paper)
• 1 from memory/imagination

I only managed 6, I had a bad weekend healthwise. What I did find however was a "selfie" that i'd drawn waaaaay back in 1979. I tell you I hadn't realised how old and wrinkly i'd become until I spent so much time this week looking in mirrors and at photos. You know, really looking at where the shadows were forming. I told my classmates that the black and white sketch was me lying down due to the shock that I no longer look like the person in the 1979 drawing :-D
