First artwork for over five years.

Well, I got my scanner up and running again. The plug wasn't working, but I have a spare adapter and so there we are.

Now I expect most of you who know me also know the subject, so I'm not going to tell you who it is and see if you can guess. Some of you already know, though. The pic was drawn from life in about 40 minutes of fading daylight - I really needed more time and better light. As I noted last night, I spent a half hour or so tidying the drawing from memory.

My rusty technique has let me down I think but here it is:



Unfortunately the pencil and rusty drawing skills may have added a few years. Oops. Sorry.

Anyway, I intend to get back in practice, I am already down to draw nyarbaggytep and immerwahr at some point.

You're not that rusty..This is great:)
Maybe the eyes are a little big, but they are very expressive - and it's far more flattering to draw the eyes of your subject slightly larger than they actually are, compared to my usual mistake, which is to make the nose far too big..~g~
I'm really glad that you're getting back to your artistic roots. You may be a little rusty - but the talent will never go away..
