Sitting in the back

January 29, 2010  |  Blog, Drawings, Sketchbooks  |  , ,

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!

  1. Nice job, Pam. Hair is really hard to draw.

  2. great sketch! i love to do these too…
    and am loving your new blog look! it’s soooo cool!!

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
