So there's a meme going around Livejournal today:
draw Batgirl, post the drawing. (Thanks to several of you for pointing it out.)
I had no intention of participating.
But it did get me thinking that I should start drawing again, because by God I really would like to be a semi-functional artist someday. So this evening, while I was waiting for dinner to cool, I pulled out my sketchbook, a 2B pencil, and my trusty Mars plastic eraser, pulled up a stock photo, and started sketching.
And this came out. I have no idea where it came from. I swear to God I do not usually possess even this level of skill. When I complain about how bad an artist I am, this level of artistry is not what I'm complaining about! If I could figure out a way to channel this, I would be
happy with my skill level. (Not satisfied - never satisfied - but at least not disgruntled!)
Okay, that disclaimer out of the way:
( Batgirl. Well, partial Batgirl. )
