I’ve been postponing trying this out right side up. Finally got around to it earlier in the evening. I find that my lines were looser and more confident in the last one that I made. In this one there is more of a likeness. I’ve used brown ink and a Rotring 0.7 technical pen. It’s approx 8″ X 10″ in my sketchbook. Doesnt look brown as I havent cleaned out the pen!
Work on my art resolutions has begun and I’m very pleased about it. But because of this finished pieces and posts will be far fewer for a while.

I guess I would have to classify myself as a “self taught” artist not having an MFA or a BFA degree. I am a happy mix of self learning and a bit more formally from artists in workshops and institutions. And after over 15 years of figuring things out, I wouldn’t want it any other way!
The journey of understanding and making art, for me, is a continuous learning process: Improving existing skills, learning new ones and most of all growing with the experience. Drawing and painting are an integral part of my life, something I am passionate about. The blogs, Maya & draw the line, document the road traveled thus far.
People, their moods, interactions and emotions are an ongoing source of curiosity and interest. What I’m searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium. Regardless, my focus remains fixed on the human form.

I still like https://ujwala.wordpress.com/2007/03/11/another-upside-down/ …..
i thought so too initially but now I’m not sure. 😀 glad you liked the upside down one. I’m off to do another “start”
I like them both – oddly enough,I think the hand is better on the upside down one – but this one has wonderful dark, brooding eyes and a completely different expression. You should hand them as a series, side by side if you do more – it could be really interesting.
just the things that i liked too 😛 I want to do another – a wash again but right side up as that was one of the other things that i liked about the first one.
wow, great emotions of the old man! i like that
