Sketches-Some Good, Some Bad, All Fun

Do you try to do something creative everyday?  I do.  I like to mix it up too.  I make ATCs, I make paper, I make books, I sew oddities, I put a bead and some embellishments here and there, I do collages.  And lately I joined EDM and so trying to draw and sketch as often as I can.  I first thought I would do it daily, but, that is a bit much.  I want to get my "drawing skills" back into tip top shape and the only way is to excercise the thing.  So, today, I am showing you one of the prompts-self portrait.  This is an excercise I think is good for artists.  It makes one really practice "draw what you see!"  I have NOT made it to that point yet.  But, for now, this is what I did....
It is done with a found pencil on some sort of found paper that is kinda bluish gray.  The paper is nice to draw on.  I have regular art pencils but for some reason, I always seem to use any old pencil that is handy.  Many times I will use mechanical pencils... kinda like those.  Age and wrinkles are hard to draw.  You have to do the light medium and dark and it takes lots of time!
