Worked on speed sketching. I try to do a two-minute sketch of something everyday. This sketch could be a person, item, place, literally anything. This is a good exercise because unless you are an uber elite, you are not going to be able to render a full drawing or painting in that amount of time. You can use a speed sketch to catch a small moment in time of something that interests you so you may later do a full rendition in your studio, Sketches are great ways to capture a souvenir. Let's say you are at the zoo, and a certain monkey catches your attention. You can do a speed sketch, jot down some notes as to color, lighting, atmosphere, etc. Later, when you are home, you can use your sketch to recreate the moment.
I also finished my self portrait by reworking the ear and mouth. I am still not happy with the mouth but anymore re-working of it will damage the paper, so I stay weird-lipped.
I also did a page of sketches. All four images (rear torso, foot, side nude, and Tom Baker as Doctor Who) were taken from images off the net. No, they don't have to be perfect, they are just sketches. Each one took about 5-10 minutes with the exception of the Doctor which was around 15-20 minutes.
