Sherman’s 100 day portrait challenge

[Joshua Jacobo]

Great work here. In your latest drawing think of a box with 6 sides. You’ve drawn the face on construction lines that appear to be seen front-on (if tilted). But the amount of head we see on the right side is more than the left suggesting a 3/4 view. If we do indeed have a 3/4 view then as the front of the head becomes the side the lines will move away from us as a different angle than on the other side.

Day 139, chemo day. Got a cheeseburger and finished sketch 71! 1 hour kinda rough iPad sketch. Not great but I gotter done! This week will be interesting for sure. Stay tuned!
I drew a 6 sided box on one layer. Then roughed the head in the box on another layer. Then I cleared the box layer and finished the sketch.
