Owen surprised me when he agreed to sit for me on Christmas.
And to sit [almost] still for me.
I can see where I should go back and lay on some darker values in the shadow side of his face. At the time, I was too fixated with giving him a hand and not a claw! So...revision might occur...as soon as the furnace gets fixed. The wood stove makes normal daily stuff possible, but house temps in the 50's have me reaching for the hot packs instead of the drawing pencils. I would not make a good plein air winter painter.

I think this is your best yet! I'm sure using a live model has helped. Your subject looks alive here. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Drawing from life is way preferable to drawing from a photo.
