The day is rainy as well as dry.
I am in Connecticut right there a few hours from Boston. The leaves on the trees are drying up and falling in orange and brown.
I am drawing now with colored pencil.The paper I have is far too small to practice figure drawing. The body is best when presented and practiced on a large piece of draft paper. I am instead drawing hands and feet, a perfect size for my page, and a good grasp to begin with, no pun intended.
I went over the images with colored pencil. I try to blend the color in the charcoal to create a smooth appearance.
