Homework for tonight’s head study class
3/22/10 Update – the consensus among family and friends is that this doesn’t look a bit like me. I think the top is somewhat close, but the bottom is definitely off.

Since it’s cold out, we spent the morning inside the wonderful Lincoln Park Conservatory. Paul and a friend took photographs while I sketched. The somewhat washed out drawing at the top is the entrance to the Palm House, the one in the middle is from a couple of different buildings, and the one on the bottom is from the Fern House.

These guys are actually set against a light watercolor wash, but for some reason my scanner isn’t picking it up.

Work has been insanely busy lately, so I’ve been posting even less regularly than usual. Thank heavens for my heady study class. This is Di, our model for a few weeks. It may not be showing up in terms of my results yet, but the class is wonderful! I used carbon pencil for the drawing.

This is a pencil sketch. I adjusted the levels a little in Photoshop so it would show up better here. It doesn’t exactly look like me, but it looks more like me than anyone else I can think of, so I guess that’s a start.

I started a head study class at the Palette and Chisel last week, so I’ve been busy drawing skulls.

The chemotherapy drugs they gave Peru on Friday were super strong, and although she’s been a trooper through the whole process and has been doing well overall, she’s been pretty low for the last few days. We’ve been feeding her a bland diet to combat her digestive upset, but when the diet and the meds she’s taking didn’t seem to be helping, Paul decided to cook for her. He was in the kitchen until about 2:00 a.m. last night boiling chicken and carrots and celery and preparing broth and cooking rice and chopping and mashing and making this amazing concoction for her. I love watching his hands when he’s cooking. And the food he made worked! After a day of carefully prepared portions of it, Peru is feeling better tonight than she’s felt since Friday.
