Portraits

Another day, another style and subject! This was really scary. For three weeks on Sketchbook Skool, it was all fun and games, but when you're talking about sketching people, that's a lot more serious. In my mind anyway.

Thankfully, for this exercise, we were allowed to freeze frame. Instead of picking a movie, I decided to go to Line of Action, a website dedicated to drawing people. I was a bit わくわく (waku waku - excited, nervous?), but once I got into it, it absorbed my attention fully. The result was better than I had anticipated. I did the basic drawing with a fairly light pencil (H?), then added darks with a 4B and a 5B. Definitely an exercise I want to try again.
