Loss of confidence

I feel a bit lacking in confidence right now. I don't know why really, it's just, I sort of want to work with reckless abandon, but in doing so, I'm losing the accuracy.
I don't feel inspired, and I really want to be. I hate not feeling able to draw.

Portraiture

Loving the new class. I sorta wish I could just get to the next one sooner.

i feel like being able to focus on it is really giving me confidence. I just hope I can keep on being as inspired.

New Pic

I have just began working on a life study of the beautiful Sara Morgan, dressed as a Spanish dancer. I love everything about this photo, from the pose, to the look on her face, to the outfit, which is just fierce! I only hope I can do it justice. I think it's so important to capture a persons spirit in a portrait..
To me, if you can't do that, then even the best drawn portrait in the world is worthless.

I just need to get the character right. She's such a bubbly girl, and I need to show that. I spent two hours on out today and I'm feeling quite pleased with it. Not a huge amount to do on it now.. Maybe I'll have it done by the weekend.
