Blue and Scribbling

I was feeling a bit off when I did this drawing. I had some other things on my mind and I couldn't quite focus on what I was trying to do. That lack of focus lead to me just putting down lines and describing shapes quickly as I came across them. Water was added to make harder edges and bring out the shapes even more. There definitely seems to be something going on here. The nose and eyes have a roundness to them that I didn't expect. A very pleasant surprise.

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.

Warm, grey marker and flair tip pen. I thought I would try combining these too together, but they seem to interact in weird ways. The hard, black edges seem to really point out the proportional problems here. Tomorrow, I would like to try working in reverse - adding the grey marker after the hard lines. It doesn't seem like it would make much of a difference, but it just might be the key to making this combination a success.
