Just a small update on the portrait. I haven't had much time to draw tonight. People, packing paintings and the telephone keep me away.
I've started putting down some layers for the hair and building the fine hairs on the shaved section of the head. I've noticed that my drawing is off here. The ear is too far back, making the head elongated. But as this isn't a commission and just something for fun, I'm letting it slide for now.
I'm finding the shade of paper very difficult to capture. Its a blue that looks almost greenish under artificial light. This is more what it looks like in the current lighting, but daylight give a much bluer cast to the paper.
you were quite right to carry on :>) it's even better
ReplyDeleteI never even noticed the ear placement until you mentioned it. Somehow it's not creating an issue or it would've jumped out. I think punkers are walking works of art anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt's turned out really well, Jeanette. Will we be seeing anymore mohawk drawings? ;-)
ReplyDeleteps I've nominated you for a sunshine award. The details are on my blog at:

Thanks Vivien. One more session and its done I hope.
ReplyDeleteBillie, punks always remind me of exotic birds, especially this one.
Thanks Julia. I'm not sure if there are any more mohawks in the pipeline. That depends what crosses my path in downtown St. John's. :)
And thank you for the Sunshine Award, that's very kind. I think I'm Vitamin D deprived this winter with lack of sun!
