A skydive from 16000ft lasts only one minute. In that precious time you can screw up in a hundred different ways. There are a thousand different ways to screw up a drawing in one minute, and this is a catalog of a few. I shall draw you on the beaches, on the landing grounds and on the hills, and I shall never surrender. And you will comment on how "Meh, it's ok but it doesn't really look much like me", 'cause everyone's a critic, goddamit!

unfinished (forever?)
Hi, Ana :)
here is your portrait, still unfinished - right before I spoil it :)
Ok, this is a slightly different drawing from most others on this blog, as it came from a photo. I took more time on it, though still not very long. But there is something mechanical about it, which is a very common result of drawing from photographs. I decided to take it into a whole new direction in order to change that. It is very terrifying to do such a thing, as you always fear you'll just ruin it and lose all your hard work. But you have to try it anyway or you'll always be unsatisfied. So, I took this photo of it in case it's the last time I see it. :)
Don't worry, ana, I'll draw you another if things go wrong :)
