ACFI Attempt 5

 

Details:

1. John Dwayne

2. Materials: FC Drawing Book, Classmate Mechanical Penpencil 0.7mm, Regular Pencil and Eraser, FC 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B, Blending with Small Stump, Tissue Paper and Flat Brush (size 3)

3. Date: 22 August 2020; Time: Almost 4 Hours, 30 Minutes

4.I drew the outlines based on the grid reference, and was pretty happy with the way the positions had turned out.

5. I learned that majority of the drawing is defined by layering shades after shades and that's how there appears a transition from light to dark.

6. Drawing a bald head is a bit tricky, the reflections must show well, otherwise the portrait looks cartoonish!

7. I loved the way how those eyes have turned out, and also was completely surprised by the all right lips!!! However, I still am struggling with filling in darker shade (example, the area between the eyebrow and the eye).

8. This drawing made me happy!

HAPPY DRAWING!!!

  1. Probably head needs more finishing.

  2. Arun - As I said in the post, drawing a bald head is a little tricky because it plays a lot with shadows and reflection. I will work on it.
