Daily Sketch: Self portrait

Jeebus... How hard was that!? Never realised how hard self portraits are, spent ages trying to figure out where my eyes were on my own head!! I'm done staring at myself, not the most vain person as it is, can be occasionally but fed up of it today. Anyway realised the more I challenge myself with different facial features and characters the better I become.

 

This one has been quite difficult, I knew My main features like the button nose and huge lips and big eyes, did not know how out of proportion it ll made it though!

Anyway it came together better when I started looking at it as a whole, with the hair and ears neck and shoulders. Also a big challenge was the 3/4 view not done that in ages and ages! I'm really getting into owning an iPad especially to draw with, best alternative I've got to one of those fancy big computer ones, once I've got a job and money then I'll start doing more fancy things

Practice practice

This was another sketch I did and just finished off, yep this is what I looked like as a kid. I was a scraggly little thing at 5yr

Drawing skills

Just a quick sketch I did of my fiancee as a 5yr old, just doing little things to improve my drawing skill. Going to upload it into photoshop, and tweak elements of it , like the mouth and tidy it up. I'm quite happy with the sketch as I drew her from memory, taking elements that stick out most to me and making her into a child.
