Description Graphite, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 ", trading card sized drawing of Karen O, from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. This is a birthday gift for

I know this has flaws...trust me, I know. I'm really bummed about that. However, I worked quite some time trying to fix them, but I think the limited size of the ATC canvas poses a problem for me when drawing detailed portraits. ( I like to draw a picture that I can fit into a birthday card, lol ).

I needed to have this done by today, so hopefully, this will be good enough.

Thanks! ATC portraits are always a challenge for me, but I think he likes it.

I think it looks cool.

The way you made the hair kind of blend in with the black background reminds me of a manga chaper art, or something like that.

Oh no, sorry. My newest drawing was this one for my cousin, and even this one was forced...if you know what I mean. I'm not sure if this happens to you or not, but I go through blocks, ruts, dry spells or whatever you can call it...and usually, if I try to draw when I'm not feeling it, it doesn't turn out too well.

I have probably at least 7-10 other drawings started, but not completed. That is another bad habit of mine. It's not that they were turning out bad or anything ( although, that has happened in the past)....it's just that I seem to lose interest or something. I really need to get back into the mood to draw. I also need a bit more free time

I sooooooo know what you mean.
I get a lot of those dry spells too.
But i've been geting it a lot more than
usual lately, which explains why I have not made any new pics in several weeks.(sobs)

But at laest I have a lot of art ideas when I do get back in the groove.(yes, I said groove)
