Another silhouette   July 26, 2023 This is the second silhouette picture I drew the other day. It's more complicated, has more details, and (sadly) doesn't look as accurate as the first one. The neck is too thin and the back line has too much of an angle, making her look too big. The shoulder and eye have a sort of wood-cut drawing look to it, which is fine, but not what I was going for. To be honest, the hand in the reference image was really hard to tell what it was, so the fact that it's suggestive of a hand is fine. Staring at the original, I think the thumb is the left-most digit on her hand, but it was hard to tell, so I'm OK with the ambiguity. And I think she looks mostly like a human, so that's good enough for a somewhat quick drawing (pencil first, then white ink, maybe took an hour or so). The full size image is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
