Kevin

This is Kevin from the Museum by Sktchy app. I drew Kevin in yesterday’s Sketchbook Skool Drawing Faces class.

Since I started teaching these classes last May I have become so much faster at drawing! When I first started the classes I would only get about halfway through a portrait in the 45 minutes or so drawing time. I finished this entire drawing yesterday before the class was finished and had time left over to take questions. I’ve learned to draw both faster and less to get more done in the time.

Richard

This is Richard from the Museum by Sktchy app. I’m definitely embracing the wonky in this portrait, drawn in this week’s Sketchbook Skool Spark Drawing Faces class.

We were focusing on drawing beards so I wasn’t planning on adding colour to the face but I had enough time to do that quickly at the end of the session. It was an interesting experience working on the face at the end, rather than first – definitely outside my comfort zone! But I’m happy enough with the finished portrait.

Richard

We’ve been working on tone in this week’s Sketchbook Skool Spark class and Richard’s face was such a good model to work from, offering such a good range of values.

Jericho

This is another portrait from a couple of Sketchbook Skool Spark classes where we’ve been looking at drawing faces that are at an angle. This is a portrait of Jericho and we were focusing on trying to make sure his features were lined up with the angle of his face, which is not horizontal to the camera. We drew him last week and added colour in this week’s class, with Copic markers and coloured pencils.

Cocomarie

We’ve been looking at drawing faces that are at an angle in my Sketchbook Skool Spark class this week. We started just practicing with line drawing and drew a couple of faces. One of them was Cocomarie. So I did the line drawing in class and finished the portrait afterwards with Copic markers and coloured pencils.

Anjelica

I went back to my Copic comfort zone for today’s portrait of Anjelica from the Museum by Sktchy app.

Santa Claus

Today in my Sketchbook Skool Spark class we had a lot of fun drawing Santa Claus from a copyright-free image posted on Unsplash by @krakenimages.

Leeza

I’ve been working on a (non-portrait) commission for the past week which has meant that I haven’t had time for any other drawing. I haven’t drawn a face for around 10 days which is the longest I’ve gone in about 5 years without drawing one. So it was a huge relief to finally get around to drawing this portrait (well, half a face anyway) of Leeza from the Museum by Sktchy app.

Idris

I forgot to post this portrait of Idris when I finished it at the weekend.

Liberty

This is Liberty from the Museum by Sktchy app drawn with a fineliner, Copic markers and coloured pencils.
