Done as part of a practice session with poses of 15 minutes in length. My current goal is: Improve my rendering of faces
Caevans
Hello and thank you. Looking at your piece first I would like to say that you capture the face as a whole magnificently, defined attention to the shadowing around the eyes and the nose are spot on your eyes are very realistic and I find myself drawn to them to share in the moment of an emotional transference. While your accents around the eyes, nose and eyes are very tender, I was wondering about the side of the mouth you chose to shadow, usually I find mouths very time consuming so bravo for your boldness here, Maybe outline the lips a bit more before adding shadow accent. Your choice does not detract from your sketch but I would love to spend more time admiring the definition of those full lips! Well done.
