Okay so I have never taken the time to sit down and write any thing on this blog. Part of the reason for that is because I forgot I even made it. So I am now going to try to get a few posts up so that it is not so empty.
I have been working on sketch faces. I personally don't like all of them but I have fun drawing them. Most of my sketches that I don't really like end up growing on me.
SO here's what I was doing before I really started working on my sketches. I was leaning towards the Japanese Styles Manga: Shojo, Shoujo, Shounen, Kodoma, Chibi, and Redisu. Using those styles and mixing them and combining.

Then I started going for a little more realistic sketches. I still went for big eyes and some of the different manga traits.

After doing some more realistic sketches I started deciding to go even more realistic and giving my portraits more feeling. As I keep sketch I slowly am noticing a difference in my art.

Hello Evelyn. I discovered your two blogs today after you commented on Little Bird. I have read both f them now and commend you both for your initiative and the perseverance in your work. It isn't easy to keep a blog, especially if you aren't sure if anyone looks at it, but do keep on. Maybe your family is encouraging, but you have a couple new viewers now.
ReplyDeleteGreat improvement in the series of face drawings you show in your post. Keep up the good work. My favorite is the first thing one.
