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.

Natascia

The inspiration photo for this portrait of Natascia just cried out for an iPad drawing exercise using the symmetry tool so, of course, I decided to draw it the hard way, in my sketchbook using Copic markers and pencils.

It was a fun drawing exercise, where I was checking both on the image and my drawing to try to get some sense of symmetry but trying not to be overexercised by it. I wanted the drawing to work on its own, rather than worrying too much about it being perfectly symmetrical. And it certainly isn’t the latter but I think it works nicely as a drawing so I’m happy with it.

Mussu

This is Mussu from the Museum by Sktchy app. I drew her in a Sketchbook Skool Spark Drawing Faces class. The drawing didn’t work out – I ended up with large “watermarks” from the alcohol markers on her forehead and cheeks so I decided to use the drawing in a subsequent class on touching up drawings on the iPad.

So this is the portrait after those watermarks have been touched up a little on the iPad. I’ve also cleaned up other parts of the portrait digitally and added some highlights with a digital pencil brush. Loving how I was able to turn a disaster into a used learning opportunity 😊

Jasmine

Struggling a bit with heavy pigmentation of Stuart Semple watercolours making this portrait of Jasmine from the `Museum by Sktchy app. If you like strong colour then they’re definitely for you! I’ve only used them once before and I was struggling to get the lighter wash that I wanted – I need much more practice with them.

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.

Ski Mask

I had so much fun drawing this ski mask in Sketchbook Skool’s Drawing Faces class yesterday that I almost forgot to post it!
