I wanted to do a portrait. I picked this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Beatrice\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s the drawing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is only in 2H and HB. I used 2H to shade the background ferns – and that’s barely shown up in the scan; and HB to shade the shadows on the model’s face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the plane drawing from earlier in the week, I went with instinct rather than trying to measure and recreate angles and lengths of lines. So, again, proportions have become weird – the model’s head has become smaller, I think, while her neck and torso have become larger. But I don’t feel quite as bad about this as I did in the aeroplane. I think<\/em> I’ve ended up more accurate – it might be self-delusion, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having absolutely no idea of how to replicate the blur in the background with pencils, this ended up being much quicker and easier to draw then I had anticipated when I bookmarked this photo – since I was doing only the foreground. If and when my sense of how to draw shadows and shades comes back, this will probably be a much more complex photo to replicate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
