Thursdays are always busy. A 'day off,' which is anything but. I have to do the grocery shopping, the podcast, the laundry, sometimes mow the lawn. Then, I might get time to work on some art. I know the last stanza of the current track on the comic is going to take some extra work, so I decided to take a short break and do a quickie portrait. I got fairly far along on this Commander Koenig until I sensed a need to stop and come back fresh. I can already see some things that aren't working but a lot of it does. This is all freehand, no grid or anything, which is why it's a little off. The nose is too long for one thing but it still looks like him. There's currently too many lines on the face and not enough interest in the eyes. What I do like is how the background is working. So, more work later, when I have time.
