Potato Person

Things got a little out of hand with this one. Some areas are darker than I would like, some need to be darkened, the eyes look like they belong to two different people, too much space between the top and bottom of the chin, etc. The nose and mouth look pretty good though.

On the plus side, I can confirm that using a colored wash to activate pigment of a different color on the page results in a subtle color shift. It doesn't show up too well in this scan, unfortunately.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

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.
