Here's some sample of what happened in my drawing class. We were given many practise session with a mirror hung opposite us and draw ourselves... that is until I got sick of looking at myself in the mirror or I would puke green slimes if needed another one. Then we turned our attention to dear classmates who would patiently stay still for the sake of art.
*3/4 view self-potrait in charcoal. Size 18x24 drawing pad.
*To give you a sense of how big the paper is, I laid a pen on it.
*Group portraits in charcoal. Size 18x24 newspaper rough.
A look at my most patient group: Ashley, Dan and Ash. Each portrait was done in 10 minutes, a restriction set as part of the practise.
*Portrait of Sean Connaughty in charcoal. 18x24 newspaper rough.
There is much to improve with sense of proportion here, I think. Body is too big, head is too small (again). Second picture implies a lot about what's going on with Sean. I don't know if I captured his emotion in the drawing but on a side note, it was drawn just days after Sean found his best friend died on the bed, in his sleep. Cause of death was unknown.
On a silly note, sis said I can sit outside the Taiping zoo and start a business, drawing portraits. Sheesh
If all else fail, I'll try that.
