the Boy & the Bread

People are difficult for me to draw, but it seems that more and more of my stories and ideas actually have these silly, mostly hairless creatures in them. I have put off drawing people for too long! I am now committed to taking the steps required to get better at it. I shall draw several people every week. With practice comes improvement. I will not post any nude drawings of my wife because my wife will not pose nude. Also, she probably will not find much humor in the previous sentence. Here is a quick sketch of my son with a loaf of bread.

Thanks.

Gina- this was sketched using my Wacom tablet and the Corel Painter Essentials program that came with it. Essentials is great because it is a simple program which allowed me to get comfortable with a tablet. I would like to upgrade to Painter 11 but I'm currently saving up for Adobe Creative Suite 4.(mmmm...CS4)

Muellinsky-Dude, I'm trying to get more readers not lose the few that I have!
