Day 13
Thanks for the advice Joshua. Today’s drawing is much more planned, thought out, and purposely executed. Yesterday, I just wanted to relax and have fun. I do tend to go too fast and slop it all down, but sometimes I enjoy that more even if the result isn’t as good. That is my challenge though, to say more with less, and as you say, slow down and be more careful.
These are looking good. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the encouragement Bryan!
Do you ever have the chance to sketch horses from life? It is challenging since they are moving all of the time, but its fun.
Starting out, I would recommend Chris Legaspi’s portrait series. He starts very simply showing basic block in techniques, and composition thumbnails moves on from there. After that, Vilppu’s videos are great, and the portrait part of the Russian Drawing course.
Good Luck,
Erik
You need to watch how things line up in perspective. Drawing lines from the bottom of the ears, the corner of the mouth, the bottom of the chin, bottom of the nose, eyebrows and eyes, those lines should all be parallel or slightly converging to the right since his head is turned slightly. The eyes are a little off. He could be raising his left eyebrow which would throw off the eyebrow line. Also, verticals from the corners of the eye should line up at the same place on either side of the mouth or nose.
Nice shading.
Nice job. You are getting better at separating your values into clear zones and managing the range of contrast in each zone. Looks good.
Nice quotes. Very inspiring. That Glenn Vilpuu knows a few things about drawing.
