I have always avoided drawing people, well, in particular; their eyes, lips…noses… basically the whole entire face. And unfortunately this week was all about portraits in my drawing course. I was completely terrified, but after my professor explained some simple rules of drawing faces, I was eager to try.
Portrait Practice – Charcoal on 18X24″ Newsprint
She eased us into it by putting dramatic lighting on our live models so they would be easier to draw. I kept starting over so I wasn’t able to complete a full portrait but every time I restarted I learned something new about drawing faces so i don’t regret it.

That night I went home and practiced on an image I found online… I was completely amazed by my progress in one day.
I would love to see other people’s portrait work.
Love seeing yours! What a beginning!–Carol

3:53 pm, October 4, 2012|over on Conongsion.meta site notorious for negative/hate comments in just about any news/article, i’m shocked and happy that nearly every comment for this trailer is PRO-this movie! 99% of the comments are people saying they think it looks great and how cool it looks. that’s saying something because again, on that site if it’s not about Batman, The Avengers or The Hobbit they will rip it apart.
