The personality of Contessa has for long been pulling me close but I haven’t had proper time to thoroughly examine and explore her person. Late last week I did some touch ups and was able to arrive at something close to her. One of the decisions I felt was crucial was whether to draw a mask on her or to leave her face bare. After I had resolved this, the process went smoothly. At some point though I had to rearrange the lineart I had earlier drawn.

Around the time that I made my last post, I saw this Black Belt holder and I was stunned. The look on its face and the way it was represented was beautifully accurate. As you well know, anytime I see such I feel like doing my own impression to see if I am improving or not. Couple of minutes later, I arrived at the Kungfu Chick.

Last week I decided to try out some of the drawings I screenshotted from way back when and one of them happen to be this chap with an open teeth. The expression on his face reminded me of one of my neighbors when we were little. His name was Daniel but his Dad always called him ’Danny’. He had this way of grinning when he was happy or just got a gift he wasn’t expecting.

Last week I found a number of references in my gallery that I had highlighted weeks or months before but never got the chance to draw them. Since I was a bit free that day, after doing some chores around the house and making sure everywhere was tidy I took out my graphite and knocked one or two sketches out its lead.

I drew this portrait early in January. At the time I was going through a lot and wanted to vent. I did vent and this was the result. Somehow for the past few days this song ’Dust in the Wind’ by Kansas has been on repeat without end in my mind. I honestly don’t know why but I remember perfectly that there was a time when I shared video links in my posts. I am going back to that.

I wasn't so sure I would be able to meet up with the deadline for this week. There's just been many things coming at me at the same time and they are all important. But when I saw the notification that my brother tagged me in some hours ago, where he said that my call yesterday inspired him to make his entry. I picked myself up and ventuted into the arts.
