All my spare time this week was used editing wedding photos (I had a deadline), and I stayed up pretty late a couple nights (I think if you look at the sketches you can guess which nights those were) - but I think overall the pattern of improvement continues. It's interesting how each mini-portrait develops its own personality. I sit down, usually tired (as I sketch right before bed) and a little frustrated that this obstacle is between me and my pillow, then next thing I know I'm really working hard to get that curve of the eye just right because I have become very engaged in the drawing. Even when I'm tired it's hard not to care, I just have impaired judgment as to the quality of the end result.
It's also fun that it's almost been a month of this project now - I hope progress continues! I'm also glad I didn't just decide to do this over a month, since I'm still a good distance away from an accurate likeness.
