Orange

Today, I wanted to address a problem I had while drawing faces on Sunday. I left so many of my figures with blank faces because I just couldn't begin adding features to the face. I got scared, and I backed away.

I started today's sketch with a blind contour drawing of the face. I treated each plane and shadow as a shape to be outlined. The face is long and strange, but it is a great deal more accurate than it would have been if I tried to add the model's features to a blank face shape.

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.
