Library Books

My cute little wifey picked up a few books for me at the library yesterday. My kids can't stop talking about how amazing it is that they have library cards. It's as if someone has handed them stacks of money and they can't stop dreaming of where it will take them. Anyways, Nat picked up "Sketching for Dummies"... hmm, "The artist's complete guide to drawing the head," and "Dynamic wrinkles and Drapery." They all seem to have great advice, especially the head book. I can't figure out why all of these principles weren't taught to me in the few art classes I attended. Either I wasn't listening or the faculty should have been teaching something else... like algebra.  Here are a few sketches from the last few days. I can already pinpoint many things I did wrong that go against what I've just recently read. I will have to see if I learned anything next time. It's hard for me to resist going into auto pilot when I draw. That's when all of the bad habits shine through.
