PRELIMINARY SKETCHES!

My husband is turning into my dream subject as he grows his hair into a pony tail. Here are some sketches I worked on yesterday. I will work them into a composition one of these days.

The fearless threader said...: I love the way you do hands. they are so expressive and solid with so few marks.; April 18, 2011 at 1:28 AM
Autumn Leaves said...: And he looks to be a handsome guy too, Myrna! I especially like the profile shot!; April 18, 2011 at 2:48 AM
Dee Doyle said...: SO cool! The "Variations" will be endless!; April 18, 2011 at 7:31 AM
William Cook said...: Your portraits as so fun to look at--these are no different. I love the way those pencils must be flying around. Very autographic. My compliments!; April 18, 2011 at 8:04 AM
hw (hallie) farber said...: Great model and always great work. I like men in ponytails, too.; April 18, 2011 at 1:26 PM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Fearless Threader! Hands are as interesting and varied as faces. Combining them in an image tells a great story.; April 19, 2011 at 11:10 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Autumn, Neither of us looks much like the persons we were when we got married 48 years ago but my husband transforms from one handsome stage to the next.; April 19, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Dee! I think I may have another series here!; April 19, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi William, thanks for the comment. All drawing is autographic (great word) and is why I am adamant about having my students draw freehand and not trace or project.; April 19, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Myrna Wacknov said...: Hi Hallie, I will be sure and pass on your comment to my husband. It has taken a long time to get his hair to this stage.; April 19, 2011 at 11:15 AM
