And Another White Ink Drawing
  [More shadowy, high contrast drawings of faces and fabric with a white ink pen.]


May 24, 2025

Two drawings in a week! Does this mean I'm on a roll or I've got some free time on my hands or organized, or maybe just not doing much today. b'ut that means I have time to do some drawing. And not just from one but two sources. I was looking up some high contrast images on pexels.com and saw two I liked. The first is the face in the upper right-hand corner, which is OK-ish but doesn't do the original justice. The other turned out OK. I'm happy with the fabric folds, the shadows on the neck, the lips, and the highlights in the hair. Again, these were pretty quick to do, like an hour or a little more for both.

I feel like the source photos might not remain for a long, long time, but they're not archived on archive.org either, so I'll provide the current URLs. The first is here and the second is here. And the full resolution version of my drawing 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.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background image, just click on the image.
