What Else Would I Draw?


I have only posted a couple of my own pictures on this blog so far, and both times they have been piper pictures. I draw a lot of pipers. I also almost always draw people in profile, so I have been challenging myself to draw from other angles as well - or so I fancy. However, looking at my more recent piper sketches, I notice with some puzzlement (since I always start thinking, I am going to try something diffent this time and genuinely believe that is what I am doing) that my go to position for pipers is a 3/4 view from the back. Very preturbing that. I had no idea I was doing that. However, to prove that I am capable of producing something besides 3/4 view pipers, here is a little sketch, inspired somewhat by the story, Peter Kagan and the Wind.

Thanks Amy! I am trying really trying to do more drawing. Perhaps I shall eventually more on to a piece of paper larger than 4 inches tall.

Thanks Gina! I do remember drawing comic strips, now that you mentioned it, but I have not done that in years, and I don't have any of the old ones... Poetry eh? I haven't written much lately, but maybe if inspiration does not strike soon, I can just post an old one.
