This is my 2011 art project: I'm going to attempt to do one drawing every day of the year. The drawings can be any medium, any size, any level of care and completion. I'm looking forward to seeing how my work evolves and improves, and whether this practice helps me to be more organized and "together" in the rest of my life pursuits.

Commissioned portrait - day 1

I figured this would count as my daily drawing... it's not finished - tomorrow I'll look at it with fresh eyes. Of course I'm working from a photograph. I went to the client's house and took several pictures, until the little boy (age 4) got tired of sitting with a pleasant look on his face and started goofing off and grimacing. I emailed several choices to the parents, and this is the one they chose. The skin tone is too washed out, and I think his eyes are actually lighter - I couldn't tell from the photo. (That's the trouble - one of them - with photos!)
