Write Away

I could NEVER draw anything from my head, and I badly wished I could, until a few weeks ago I felt the urge to sit down, relax, and just see what I might be able to do for a character portrait, and it turned out to be incredible. I thought that was just a fluke, but last night I tried again with another character with great results. I would still only consider myself decent with a pencil, but the faces actually look like the images in my head, and seeing their faces outside my head is such a rush.

However, faces for my characters generally come in bits and pieces for me. Usually only a few physical features stand out to me for a long time, whether that's hair or posture or body type. So I don't feel like I really could attempt to draw most of my characters, only the few whose faces are clearest. But the experience of actually being able to do it is amazing.
