Art After a Year

I hadn't done any art in a year - a frustrating side effect of depression - and then, around Christmas, I was given a few new sketchbooks.  So, one night, I started sketching again.  It was so much fun.  Between Christmas and New Years (around there anyways) I did the following:

It felt great to finally do some art again!!! <3

Myrtle Beach

These are the watercolors that I painted while I was in Myrtle Beach this last Spring Break.  I think that would put me in February of 2014... or was it March?  I don't know.  Either way, I painted them this year.  I think my faces have improved; at least I like the watercolor portraits much better than the faces I tried to draw.

People. Warning: NOT GOOD

I feel that I need to put a disclaimer on here: This artwork is practice only for drawing people.  They ARE NOT good and are just practice.  However, I hope that with more practice I will become better at drawing them.  Human faces are incredibly difficult to draw - they're so technical with all the proportions having to be just so.
