New 5-minute Sketches and Finished Work

This is recent sketchbook work that includes photos of the 5-minute initial sketches plus the finished work--after more time was taken. Both were done with Muji pen, and pencil was added for shading.

I like the sense of translucent fabric around the face and body in the first finished image as well as the roses in the headpiece. In the second finished piece, I like the squiggly lines used to abstractly imitate lace, and the shapes of the gloved hands

Since I'm trying to focus on identifying my likes, weakness and dislikes are not included.

When you look at your work, do you see both likes and dislikes? Do you focus on one or the other? If so, which one and why?

They're fun and useful besides.

This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
