An Oldie...

This is a sketch of myself as a child. I came across a picture of me and my Nana and I really liked the expression on my face. This sketch is a bit rough and could use more detail and shading, especially in the hair and face. However, I think it does capture some of the emotion through the eyes and mouth.

First Figurative Sketch

 For our first in class figurative sketch, we were assigned to sit across from someone and you would sketch them as they would sketch you. While my sketch doesn't really resemble Ashley, I still feel that it was a good first attempt. The features that I drew I believe to be pretty accurate, however, their relative sizes and the overall proportions are way off. The eyes and lips look good up close, but then from a distance, they are way to small in relation to the size of the head. Next time: focus on the relative sizes and shapes of the figure BEFORE I start drawing in details.
