old dude.
Heh.. I went '.. can't see that he's old, particularly'. Then I realized that his nose was what I was viewing as the entire head, in a scene of someone exiting a cave down a slope, one foot up like they are about to stomp.

Kind of in a 'destroy everything' mood, so don't really want to post scans, but it'll get stuff off my to-scan pile.. so here is yet more monuments to nothing:
DComps (especially boring ones omitted)
A sort of tension about level of close-up-ness is going on here. Most comps feel like they are unable to capture much about the person's action because of the level of context. OTOH things like the skateboarder feel like they are too close. It's kind of interesting that there is no real in-between.
(probably-no-less-than-200 gestural drawings also omitted)
Went to uh.. 'art group' recently (it's not a class.. sort of just 'we'll meet up in this room and draw the same subject'). Did a drapery study sort of thing on an uncomfortably large piece of paper (A1?). Atmosphere was slightly pretentious IMO, but challenging.
(actual size ~= 42x54 cm. Session duration was 3 hours, which is well into the 'danger, you can't really see the subject anymore, only your preconceptions' zone for me.)
Might be able to push forward with Nicolaides stuff there, for at least some exercises like modelling and right angle study.

If you insist on being pessimistic about your own abilities, consider also being pessimistic about the accuracy of that pessimistic judgement.
