Creepy

The fashion magazines use for reference are most often filled with impossibly skinny women in strange outfits and situations. It was surprising to see an impossibly skinny man in a hoody gracing the pages of this particular magazine. Surprising and creepy. It was fun to try and capture all of the cast shadows and push the black of the hood further than usual. Not sure what I was thinking with the yellow eyes - but there they are.

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.
