Jenny

Totally lost the likeness on this portrait of Jenny but had fun drawing it.

Esther

Had fun trying to capture the purple reflections on Esther’s face in this portrait. Was also trying out a new fineliner but decided I prefer my usual grey Unipins.

Scribblebug

I drew this in about 45-50 minutes in my Drawing Faces class yesterday. Really happy with how it turned out given the time limit.

Scott

This is Scott from the Museum by Sktchy app, drawn in around 45 minutes in my Drawing Faces class yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve ever managed to complete a portrait during class!

Sasha

Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew, especially when it comes to what I can do in 45 minutes in class. That was certainly the case with this portrait of Sasha from Sktchy. I really didn’t have enough time to blend the greys in the shadow thoroughly. But I’m surprised at what I did manage in under an hour.

Distorted Selfie

We were drawing distorted selfies in today’s Drawing Faces class. I find that drawing distortion can be freeing because it helps us to draw without worrying so much about likeness, accuracy or flattery, especially when it comes to selfies. This is me reflected in the surface of a metal ball, which creates the curvature.

Sulphur

Celebrating the summer with this portrait of Sulphur from Sktchy.

Phil

It was fun to draw Phil’s great expression and talk about the difficulties of drawing teeth (and leaky Copic markers) in yesterday’s Drawing Faces class.

Marty

This is Marty whose photo was posted on the Museum by Sktchy app by Jacob. We’ve been drawing him over the past couple of weeks in my Sketchbook Skool Spark Drawing Faces class using Copic markers and coloured pencils.
