So this is the completion.. I used charcoal pencils (2B and 6B) — over graphite and the colored pencil, so that was a fail — and willow charcoal.

Here’s another attempt — same reference and same tracing — (Photo by Clarke Sanders on Unsplash). Much closer, except for the model’s left side.




Here I was drawing free-hand against a traced copy of the reference photo (by Clarke Sanders on Unsplash). I merged the free-hand and the traced to see how far (or how close) I was to actual proportions. I added red pencil to the free-hand version so the lines would show up better in comparison.
While the face is relatively in the same proportions as the original, it’s substantially smaller all around. (Sigh.)




This work was done in 2B graphite and willow charcoal, based off a photo by Grâce Goubo on Unsplash.

This sketch, done in 2B pencil and willow charcoal, is based off a photo by Brigitte Tohm on Unsplash. I am aiming to sketch hands in action for 30 consecutive days.

This sketch is based on a photo by Callum Hill on Unsplash.

This study was inspired by an image by Yann Allegre on Unsplash. I used the same pastels as I used for my previous effort, but I added a more detailed underpainting using NuPastels, after sketching the trees with vine charcoal.



This drawing is based off a photo I found on Unsplash. I need to learn how to draw hair!
