Two things that are on the edge of my comfort zone ---- drawing people & using acrylics. I decided to practice a little with both in the above. Unfortunately I didn't quite capture the smirk expression I set out to paint. The sketch was done on day one & painted on day two (not sure if i'll do more fine tuning since it is a study).
Out of curiosity I went back to look at some of my old sketch books to see if my people drawings are getting any better. Here are a few below. My favorite view, 3/4s is the one that seems the hardest to get the right proportions. (This gets trickier when the subject's head is tilted.)
