the first in a series

I had organized to sketch connie today a few days ago... and was looking forward to it... but in the eman time I'd made the mistake of upgrading to Yahoo messanger version 6... I'll refrain for further comment now... to avoid the lible suit... but its totally buggared`up my attempts to sketch on my web cam... so frustrating!!

I like to start with a graphite pencil sketch... notice there are only hazy lines and a lot of smudging to establish tone... I'm also finding that the quicke I get the form in the more real it looks... or an I having myself on here...
