A few more goes at sketching a likeness.

This lot didn’t go particularly well as it was rather an interrupted day, even a visit to the dentist, although at my age this mostly involves taking them out and the dentist sending them off to the tooth fairies for repair.

Anyway more from the fantastic fiction site, as I am no where near the end of authors beginning with Abb I think I am going to switch over to authors that I have actually read pretty soon.

Perhaps I should have a go at the photos of councillors on the TDC website, my guess is that it is going to be several hundred sketches before I am anywhere near being able to reliably nail a likeness.

Much of the problem is related to doing what are described as field sketches although in actuality these are nearly always town sketches and as they tend to include the people who are in the frame it would be nice to be able to get a reasonable likeness.

Post a Comment

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
