I turned both drawings upside down, side-by-side, and it became immediately obvious that I had to shave off a reasonable portion of his chin and cheek and jaw. The eye still bothers me, but it bothers me on both drawings. I guess I have to ask Owen to stand on his head....<br /><br />Jen, thanks. I'm not so worried about weird stares, but do you ever get threatened (law suit, beating) when you're sketching in the mall or coffee shop? That's what I'd be worried about.

It tells the brain to see only shapes and value placement. Also looking at them in a mirror will help the artist's eye see errors in the structure and balance of the face. This is a good drawing. I think you are being hard on yourself. Keep at it. I think you have a good start.The Art of Kim Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725289404334038843noreply@blogger.com
