  1. The better of the 2 that I did during last night's 'live' portrait zoom session with model Linna. Gouache on HP watercolour paper, 22 x 15 cm.

  2. Another day, another Holbein. At some point I'll revisit all of these and probably get demoralized as to how little improvement there's been. #mastersketch25 #mastersketch #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  3. I'm enjoying the Holbeins so I'm carrying on for now. They only take 30 mins or so and I do them with my morning coffee. Good start to the day. #dailysketch #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch

  4. Day 30 and the last day of #mastersketch25 Didn't think I'd make it through the whole month and, frankly, I haven't done as much drawing for a while. Good times and thanks to Todd Casey #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  5. Second to last of the Holbeins and a nice one today. Left facing and not an ethereal young lady or a bearded dude. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  6. Another tricky one that looks simple. Mostly line (partly why I like Holbein drawings) which leaves you very little room for error. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  7. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. But still the sketches go on. Finally one facing to the left for a change. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  8. Day 26 of #mastersketch25 Feeling like I'm on a bit of a plateau here. Still finding things that my judgement is out on various things but not finding a way through. #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  9. Day 25 of #mastersketch25. Only 5 more but still plenty of Holbeins left in the bag. #portraitsketch #dailysketch. Rather enjoyed this one. A somewhat sturdier person which makes a change from the delicate ladies.

  10. Day 24 of #mastersketch25 It's been a loooong month. I am finding I look forward to doing the daily drawing much more than I did at the start. It's nice to get something 'real' done first thing. Another Holbein - looking to the right! #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  11. It seems that a lot of these Holbein drawings have people facing towards the right. Very awkward for me as a right hander. I'm going to hazard a guess that Holbein was left handed. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  12. Very clean this one and looks simple but wasn't. Probably now my favorite so far of the Holbeins. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  13. Day 20 of #mastersketch25 and I'm back to the solid graphite for today's Holbein. It gets nice darks but the mechanical pencil has a better, more delicate line. #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  14. Another pared down Holbein drawing copy but definitely starting to have more character. One of my faves I think this. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  15. Mostly using the mechanical here. It gives a lighter value to get those subtle skin changes. Another Holbein #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  16. Probably not visible right now but I'm sensing a change now we're 17 days in. The process is easier and I'm focusing on what's important to render. Another Holbein for #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  17. Day 16 in the #mastersketch25 already! Over half way. One thing that's come out of this is me appreciating even more how good Holbein is. #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  18. On with the Holbeins. Concentrating on the feature relationships and am slowly honing things. Still retaining some life in the lines though I hope #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  19. Slowing down a little. Doing one of these each day really hammers home where you need to slow down and pay attention. Every angle counts. #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  20. Ditched the mechanical pencil for this for a solid graphite one. Like them both really. Another Holbein. Day 13 of #mastersketch25 #dailysketch #portraitsketch

  21. Ok - a little better with the proportions today I think. Another Holbein. This one I think is the husband of yesterday's lady. #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch

  22. Day 10 of #mastersketch25 and another Holbein. Quite a way off with this one even though I'm being more careful. I seem to be going in the wrong direction... #mastersketch25 #portraitsketch #dailysketch
