People Studies


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.)
