I've given up on most of the sketchbooks I've ever started, except for travel sketchbooks. Since I've been doing visual art again in the last year or so, I finally realized I mostly care about people, about faces. Architecture, nature: I don't care so much. But faces are hard, so I hardly ever tried to draw them. This time round, I'm focusing on them.
Here are my father and my sister. He drove up to celebrate my sister's 55th birthday, and we spent an afternoon on her deck, drinking beer and sketching. These are the best of my efforts. Not photo-realistic, of course, but they definitely catch something of my family.
