A painter's trick for rejiggering a painting can involve taking a step back and reworking the values and composition from a black and white printout

My sister sent my drawing of our 2nd great grandfather to an historic Club of which she is a member. This club features paintings of American generals, a rank that our grandfather also achieved. Hopefully, they will be inspired to hire me to paint his portrait.
The drawing is 10x8" on Strathmore.

This drawing from a Zoom live session was 2 hours including model breaks. All told, it is about 1 hour 35 minutes of active posing. This practice keeps me fit for commissions. And AI will never replace it🔆

Prepping for drawing commissions with the mechanical pencil. Using the sharpest point on toothless paper requires utmost concentration

Progress shots from a model on Zoom. I treat these sessions as exercises in seeing how well I can do in a time frame without additional references. I truly love cultivating and maintaining a style. *Maintaining* sounds antithetical to being creative but I refer to maintenance of the craft.

Drawing Vy on Zoom while she was lying down was tricky — it challenged me to see thru my objective lens even more than usual. Drawing from life and/or *life* on Zoom will become more valuable for skill building as AI enters the cultural landscape and rattles the cages of our ancient art forms
