My new sketchbook + the first drawing

The sketchbook is an old scrapbook from around circa, 1950-1970(?). The paper is very brittle but has a wonderful color. It was given it by a friends mom last summer and just found it again. I used gouche again to paint Fay Wray. I didn't capture her real beauty, better luck next time.

Please pardon the awful scan job, the pages are too large for the scanner I have here.
