I decided to blind contour my son sitting on the couch, and in the process I defaced him! So I drew his face again. He has a bad habit of sitting around with no shirt. Yuck....I mean he is cute, but ....why do guys like to sit around like that? And of course, I am a naggy mom and keep after him to put a shirt on. Could it be he just likes to drive me nuts? Nah.
Joyce I do this all the time when I'm drawing people - I get so caught up in going around the whole body that by the time I get back to the head I can't remember if I drew the face (or ear or whatever) at all. My son's name is Mike also!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you incorporated his arm and hand into one gesture. The portrait is cool, too.
These are just the perfect blind contour drawings---spontaneous and quirky! I smiled at your text, too---sons will be sons, won't they ;D?
ReplyDeleteI think a son's job is to drive his mother crazy. Mine certainly did befor leaving for school. But I hear they improve with age like fine wine! These are really great!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Brian's comment!!
ReplyDeleteAnd your text was funny too "what happened to his head?" !! I like the fact he doesn't have a face, and that you re-drew it separately. I think it looks great.
Hey Brian, I guess you're right....it could be worse!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Laura, Lindsay, Donna...I guess you're right...he's just doing what boys do! He's a pretty great kid, I think I'll keep him!
