I had a sharper pencil than yesterday. It really makes a difference. Issues to overcome in the next sketch: 1) shadowing in low contrast areas – the left side of the face was uniformly darker and less detailed in the reference photo; 2) subtle shading differences of large areas – difficult to achieve; 3) rendering of the nose – requires subtle shading as well, within very short distances.

Excellent expression 🙂
Thanks, Violet. I’m trying to run through a bunch of different ones.
Yes you’ve got a great selection of expressions so far 🙂 Really interesting 🙂
I’m going to continue in that vein, Violet. Thanks for the encouragement.
Great 🙂 You’re welcome, I’m looking forward to seeing more 🙂
