silent heads

As I've mentioned before, I loooove to draw 'characters'. Unfortunately, there aren't nearly enough of these folks in my everyday life. With this being the case, I also find it fun to draw ordinary people and, with a few exaggerated strokes, turn them into characters.

As with most of my sketches, I think I have more success creating characters the quicker I sketch. I don't over analyze decisions, I just make them. In light of this, I encourage you to take a look at this informative post by Paula of AccessArt on sketchbooks + speed. Hmmm, speed sketchbooking---wonder if this could be a new olympic sport?
