30-Day Drawing Marathon: Day 2

Here’s day 2, a quick doodle in my journal. My 5-year old scanner is showing its age, making the scan of this sketch not so very good. I used a ball point pen, one of my favorite tools for drawing because it can show tonal quality just by adjusting pen pressure on the page. Unfortunately the scanner did not pick up any of the gray tones. Boo!

Anyway, here she is. I don’t know where she came from, nor why she ended being a cross between a harlequin clown and that woman with the fruit on her head – although that’s not quite fruit on her head.

She came out of nowhere

Drawing without a reference (whether from life or photos) is new territory for me. A little scary even though this one was quite fun!
