Here are some sketches done in different styles - whatever hit me at the moment - of various family members. When I was growing up, my mother (who taught art in public school) always told me to look at a drawing in the mirror so I could see it as others saw it... so it would cease to look familiar and I could better see the flaws. I have discovered that photographing or scanning these sketches and then seeing them on this blog takes them Way away from me, and I can better determine not just That "there is something wrong with (the jaw, the nose...)" but What is wrong and how to fix it... If I were going to go back into any given sketch and correct it, that would certainly be one tool to use.
nice sketches! I think the two boys in the upper right are Rawls (hat) and Scot (headphones) right? But who is the woman, and who is the bushy-bearded guy?
ReplyDeleteThe woman is my little girl! It does look pretty much like her, except from an odd angle so you don't get that her biggish almond eyes are widely spaced, and her nose should be a bit more turned up at the end. I do have a portrait of her on the computer (when all my victims are most vulnerable) coming up...
ReplyDeleteThe guy is Mike!
