Drawing Time: 20min Daily:)

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” ”

– Edward De Bono

Hello beautiful artists! I know some are disappointed that we aren’t on a daily schedule anymore. We want more ref’s to draw more and improve! I can relate:) Though I just can’t keep up with a daily schedule… On the other hand, I have an e-Book that is 80% ready. I’ve ignored it for the past couple months. It has 101 people portraits, 33% each of profile, ¾, and full on head shots. All new ref’s. Would you like me to get busy and finish this ebook? I’d probably launch it on Amazon kindle for a couple bucks each… If you’d support that effort, please let me know. Hit reply or comment on the poll below.

Also one artist asked me to provide more ref artworks in the weekly edition. This seemed a very reasonable request. Please let me know what section you’d like to see more references…??Hope your keeping your pencils sharp and your fountain pens loaded:)
