Shadow Shot Sunday

This week has been a bit lacking in shadow inspiration so I am mainly cheating! This first shot is my only actual shadow-my letter stencils in the sink waiting to be washed. I made some letters, cut them out, with vague ideas of using them somewhere for something, then spilled coffee on them and had to throw them away! I have started a new online portrait class this week with Suzi Blu and these are from my third attempt at a full face-I was looking carefully at shadows so they are not entirely cheating! Shadows under my eyes-oh dear!
I love drawing the eyes but when it comes to noses-most challenging!
It's all fun though! Visit HeyHarriet here for more shadow shot fun!

    Your drawing is wonderful - as you know I haven't progressed past drawing like a 5-year old!!

    Great photo for Shadow Shot Sunday, Sarah... That online portrait class sounds great--and your drawing is terrific! This past weekend hubby & I went to the city for some fun & shopping, and the only real place to get art supplies...I bought some new pastel pencils and loving them--having such fun getting back into fine are again--at last! Happy weekend :o)

    Just enough shadow
    rubbed beneath eyes or a nose
    makes portrait perfect.

    Drawing the shadows on your portraits is a bit more complicated that snaping a picture of them! Creative idea. That class sounds like alot of fun!

    wonderful sketches, Sarah! Very nice.

    I also love the well-worn stencils against the silver background.
