Trying to get better at portraits. I am either face blind or retarded or both, so drawing realistic depictions of people has always intimidated me, but it's something I want to work on. Hopefully you can tell who these guys are? View attachment 8984040View attachment 8984042View attachment 8984064
I didn't trace these, but I did overlay the original pic when I was almost done, and then made changes based on that. It seems I have a bad habit of making the head too wide and exaggerating the length of the forehead, so that's something I'm trying to be conscientious of going forward. I tried to get a mix of phenotypes and expressions to challenge myself.
Some stupid ass shit i made today at class, it's the logo for an association of fat mexicans who hate Japan and it's literally called "foundation japan is shit".
Did some drawings tonight with a square of tailor's chalk.
It doesn't blur too well and smudges your fingers even more than charcoal, but the square chalk is very fun to use and gives that double-sided effect which I like. It also helps for getting the big contrasts that dark skin tends to have.
Model was a nice dude, he was blind in one eye and stuttered a lot, but pretty easygoing.

I love the confidence in your lines. I recommend you concentrate on that and leave the shading for later. Otherwise very good work from a life model. That’s always a challenge but a lot of fun too. I kinda miss it
