Happy Halloween!
This first drawing (above) is a 40 minute attempt, I had to leave early, and was my last drawing of the day. Thank you Gloria.
Here's a 20 minute charcoal (below), I believe this one was my first during this session.
Warm up, and another 20 minute charcoal.
One more 20 minute drawing of the great Gloria.

I liked the drawing that I did the other day so much, I decided to have a go at painting this piece. Promise you, I feel like a kid in line that's just next to get on the roller coaster. Its more than excitement, its knowing how you will stay on track (literally lol) memorize all the curves, and remember the highlights, and have fun.

Most of the following are 20 minute drawings. Should I slow down? Should I speed up? I don't know, but I do know this... I love doing them. And by the way, on some you'll find '20 Min' written on them..20 minutes that is..
not Zomin
although I suppose I turn into 'Zomin the Artist'
for that 20 minutes, right?
...wait, no..who?

I love babies. Cuddly babies. I miss my children being little. And the adoration in their baby eyes. Which I'm sure they saw back at them as well.

8 minute drawing, 24x18 charcoal, life. Really liked the design of her
when I found I was done. Also, I like the application when its done
this quickly, it has a certain verve. Its really exciting to see what
can happen with the charcoal in that amount of time or less. I completed
three, will post others some other time. At the moment, she's my

Thank you Universe for allowing me to develop...to explore, to grow. I'm getting there, slowly but surely. This is new, I believe I've said all there is to say on this one. I could add more, but I think I will wait, and see if I like the unfinished bits. Those unfinished bits draw me in, making me want more.
