After Velazquez

Daily drawing August 2

After a two month hiatus from drawing and painting, I was disappointed by the deterioration in my drawing skills, especially portraits and specifically facial features. So I have committed to draw for about an hour or two each morning. I am copying from a good black-and-white printed book on the complete works of Diego Velazquez.
