Thanks Joshua. Been a while forgot that I had a sketchbook thread. Did some Ilya lessons and found out there are Sheldon lessons again. So I went back to the basics.

Day 9 – Trying out charcoal again. Still not used to the shading style. But I like how the face turned out. Still need to learn how to shade hairs and add texture with charcoal.

[Andrew]

Day 8 – Tried to draw a kid, but it turned out to be pretty old. Realized I also can’t even draw frills and flowers. Will draw this again as my 100th portrait.

Day 7 – First time using the pastel pencil and toned paper, I liked the white color for the highlights. I think I will give watercolors a try.  Then stick with 2-3 drawing materials for drawing.

Might give charcoal another shot. Kinda hard to use that medium.

[Andrew]

Day 6 – Sketched the work first and tried using a felt pen for the sketch/crosshatching and a permanent marker for the hair and clothes.

[Andrew]

Day 5 – First time using charcoal. I might try out different mediums. Kinda interesting how it works and how well it smudges. Thanks my left hand.

@Erikdennes – Thanks I will check them out. Looks like Jean Bapist Greuze has some amazing clean hatching. I might try to copy some of his works. The sketch style from Rembrand looks nice and simple.
@Erin – His animal studies looks nice. It will be a good reference for the future. Thanks also.

Day 4 – Got the proportions for the nose wrong. Realized after I started to shade.

[Andrew]

@ Honestka/Amelia/Arlo – Added you guys.

[Andrew]

3rd day – Back to my cross hatching. Do you guys now any oldmasters who uses cross hatching for shading?

[Andrew]

@lmartinezusmc – Thanks a lot. Might need to try other shading technique too. But cross hatching is fun.

Here my drawing for the 2nd day.

[Andrew]

@Gabriel – Sure added you.

[Andrew]
