Sitting in the back

Posted on Jan 29, 2010 in Blog, Drawings, Sketchbooks | 9 comments

When I go to videotape an event, I usually sit on the back row or in an aisle seat so I can easily get up and down as needed. The other day at the Creamery Arts Center, I sat in the back, only to be delighted to have the opportunity to draw some wonderful hairstyles while I was waiting for an event to start. Hair is hard to draw, so I’m working on it!

    I sometimes draw backs of heads when I am waiting for a concert or other event. Mine are not nearly as good as yours, but it is a great way to wait it out.

      Thanks Gerrie! It actually didn’t look as good when I first drew it, but then I came home and painted in the colors as I remembered them. The hair looked a lot better after I filled it in with some dark watercolors.

    I think you did a great job drawing the hair! I love it. I need to draw more and I certainly have lots of supplies for that!

      Hi Jacque, just put a few things in your purse. I did this drawing in a just a few minutes before an event, taking advantage of time that would have otherwise been forgotten. But I happened to have a brush pen and sketchbook in my purse. I color washed it later when I got home.

    This is a great sketch! It just makes me smile. I’m going to have to pay better attention to hair from now on.
