"We study from a live model, but we draw and animate cartoons. The ability to be able to know the human head and figure and to transfer that knowledge into cartoons is of utmost importance."

  --Walt Stanchfield, Drawn from Life, Vol 1

I haven't done much drawing this week.

My stack of figure reference to draw has grown about three feet, but my finished sketchbook pages have not expanded at the same rate. Am I struggling? Possibly, but what I think I am is is busy. And tired.

I'm working full days most of this month. We desperately need the money, but it doesn't leave the same amount of time for drawing that I had when I was only working part-time.

This is all I've done since Thursday. The good, the bad and the mostly ugly.

The week is over, so on to the next.
