Shades

The sunglasses are a little ... off in terms of perspective. But I spent a lot of time on the nose and mouth. I would normally avoid giving attention to the lips and teeth until the very end, so today I decided to focus on getting it all done first. It doesn't look half bad!

I just realized I've been creating these practice paintings without any pencil or erasing. They don't always turn out great, but I can tell I'm getting better at portraits.

Ferret

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.
