The eyes can totally make or break a piece. Looking good there, Sky.

Having just the eyes in detail at that stage makes him look very Edgar Allen Poe.

Not hand art but still art. I got bored yesterday and needed a creative outlet at work so I did this.

You just made him very happy. His new tatt is a realistic anatomical heart with a vignette of a wooden chair and noose inside...so he likes the darkness...

Been wonky drawing the last couple weeks because reasons. Tonight's was rules not allowing us to actually draw in the geometry...more deets on the blog. Just used it as an excuse to mess around with values a bit in advance of the next couple classes and trying to come up with a finished drawing later.

Had a real crappy class and ended up wiping off everything I did in the first two and a half hours. Then switched gears and worked on something entirely different, adding in a secondary light to the shadows for the last half hour.

Nice! The whole piece is really starting to develop depth and details now I like how it's going.

The secondary shadow light is interesting. It's subtle but makes a big difference and it's fascinating to see you painting what I would do with light if I was photographing, i.e. adding some fill to the shadows to give depth.
Reminds me how much I learned about lighting by looking at Rembrandt paintings.

Missed my portraiture class this week :( Definitely going to have an unfinished painting.... On the other hand, I'm trying to develop my sketchbook habits and studies. Going to put up a weekly digest to avoid spam (I'll be randomly spamming FB, but collecting them in the digest elsewhere).

Nice! The details are really looking great, although the shirt is (obviously) still a WIP right now. The mustache still looks a bit tubular and solid, but the hair in general has that in progress look to it.

No idea how to fix the mustache. The hair is pretty much done, doubtful I'll have time to revisit it. Just back to back sessions in 2 weeks, so no time for layers to dry in between. I'll have to try something with the stache, finish the lips. Then focus on the background and shirt/tie. It's funny the amount of feedback I get about the shirt and tie, after everything's blocked in, I don't even touch or thing about it until the end :)

Wait, you mean you're not exhuming bodies from local graveyards in the dead of night to garner sketching material? I'm disappointed

Trying to keep my daily sketches to the digest posts, but this one turned out pretty cool. Tried my usual 2B graphite pencil I sketch with on tan paper, using white conte pencil for highlights. Tough to get a good pic but it looks cool irl (the values, the pic is wonky).

That's really good! The highlights really make it pop off of the page.

Thanks! As I said, it doesn't photograph well in the warm, dim light of my living room. I'm not a bright light person, which sucks for my fiancee who has difficulty seeing in low light.

You're the second person to say that, so I guess so!
Thanks! I think I'm finally getting there.

Looks male to me. The mastoid process is kinda large, the jaw is very square from the front and the cranial mass is very deep. The frontal bone is fairly rounded though, as is the occiput, which are more female traits, and I'm not expert enough to say 100% certainly. 70% maybe.
The sketches are great though :)

What made me say female was pointier chin, wider jaw, rounder forehead and narrower mandible that's no square. I'm no expert either, just my assumption based on those traits.

Guys, it's a shitty drawing that's completely out of proportion. But posts like those are why I love f13 :p

Did some sketching in front of the TV yesterday. Haven't been motivated to do anything because I'm having shoulder problems that are probably related to the fact that I spend too much time working on a computer and sitting in the same position more or less. Anyways.

Nice! I dig the linear shading, very cool. I just picked up a drawing board to try and improve my sofa drawing position a bit, all my sketchbook stuff is sofa drawing! Speaking of which...newest digest for the past week is up! https://cashwiley.com/2016/12/12/sketchbook-digest-4/Yay ecorche!
