I've been drawing faces all week-- and actually becoming good at it. I've been drawing a lot of portraits of Cara Delevingne because her face is perfect (for drawing and in general). She has a lot of jagged lines and bold features that make drawing her really simple. Over Thanksgiving break, I plan to draw a few male faces, as I haven't tried that yet. After Thanksgiving break, I will be starting human bodies, which I'm hoping will be slightly easier than faces.
I think I'll be changing the overall goal of my 20% project to just realistically drawing humans (with different facial expressions and body language) and, if I have time, basic animals. I greatly underestimated the time it would take to actually be good at drawing.
Shoutout to Kasia (sorry if I spelled it wrong) for showing me a new way to map out the main features and proportions of faces-- it helped A LOT.
Expect pictures next week, as I'll have a lot to post.
Hello Cat,
ReplyDeleteI think my last comment didn't go through...so I am going to try this again. Congratulations on picking such a unique topic for your project. None of my students have ever picked drawing people before!
And also I think you did such a great thing by getting a peer to help you (with advice, etc)! There is so much we can learn from our friends and fellow people!
Good luck with the rest of your project!

I agree entirely. Thank you so much.
