New theme for December

This came rather late, but I thought I'll update the theme for this month.

Go, show us ur christmassy drawings :D

Face Practice Part 3

I opted to draw an open mouth expression this time, shes suppose to be laughing but somehow it turned out more like a grimace instead. Note to self: Draw more laughing people. The light and darks have more contrast in this photo ref, I dont think I've really brought that out. In fact i think the shoulder turned out nicer then the rest.

Things learned: That I cant draw opened mouths, and Im bad at extreme expressions like this laugh. Keep in mind about working from dark to lights, I tend get impatient and start shading in the lighter tones before Im ready.

Face Practice part 2

This time I'm trying tonal values instead of scribbling all over the drawing. Again, from photo ref. Time taken is approx 4-6 hours, I left for dinner and a bunch of misc stuff halfway so I cant really be sure. Photoshop this time, same as the post before.

Things learned: Blending with smudge and eraser works pretty damn well. And cleaning up the base drawing more before starting to add tones will help reduce going back and forth trying to erase stray lines. And getting more adept at looking at tonal values on skin,
