Book arrived

The book, How to Draw the Human Head: Techniques and Anatomy, just arrived in the mail. I ordered it through Half.com but the bookseller is www.BetterworldBooks.com - I checked out their website, and it's really neat that when you buy books from them, you are helping various charities. I will keep them in mind next time I need to order a book. Free shipping to USA addresses, so that's a plus.

I have so much art stuff to read right now. I just received the November AND the October issue of Art Calendar Magazine. I don't know where the October issue has been hiding. Maybe a postal worker enjoyed reading it at lunch. Note to self to look for tell-tale soup stains on magazine. Nah, seriously, that would be okay with me. Anything to advance the arts! :)

I just finished a portrait of 3 people - drawn from separate photos. It came out really nice. I sent it out today UPS. I have several more portraits to do, and that's my focus - after this gift giving season, I kind of expect commissions to drop way off, and I will use that time to do all my reading and to create my face feature book.
