I don't think this one is even close to the real thing.  However, most friends seem to like it.  I pretty much kept drawing little frilly bits on the lamp, rather than trying to copy exactly what I saw.  

I guess I still don't have the patience to put the details down on paper.

This one looked much more simple than it was.  

I think there's a likeness, but it's not great.

I did not get this one quite right.  

I should go back one day to do this one over.  I like it much more than the sketch turned out.  

March 19: Laguna Gloria Vacation Sketching Class

So I missed most of the class -- very busy (and surprising) weekend!  

Anyway, I made it for Sunday afternoon's class, and we had some time to walk around the villa and the grounds to find stuff to sketch.  This was probably my favorite statue and sketch.  

(I added a bird to my sketch that I saw bathing for about 3 seconds.)

Again, misplanning had me cut some of his height off.  

And my version may just be a tad cuter, but still a good likeness!

Quick sketch.  

But where there once would not have been any likeness whatsoever, there is definitely a likeness!!!  I'm totally getting better.  Or at least more comfortable with just going for it.  But either is good.  

March 16: Getting more comfortable with turtles

I think I do this pretty often... 

I don't plan right, and then end up needing to cut something out of the drawing...

March 15: I'll never catch up!

I'm so far behind, that I'm okay with never catching up.  I'm behind with both posting and sketching/painting.  But I'll post what I've got.  Because no matter how far behind I get, I'm going to keep practicing when I have the time and energy!!!

Did this one at school during a testing break.
