Thought id try and set a high bench mark for myself Unfortunately I came up with this.

Comments anyone

hi hawkwood,i dont think that this is a too bad sketch.Did you set yourself a time limit,if so how long?It kinda has a moody feel to it,with the ciggie hanging out,a bit like the well known pic of James Dean.

Good sketch, Tim!
Don't you know that smoking is bad for the health!?
(btw, I also smoke )

I like the sketch! Looks very natural!

It looks nothing like him, though. It's interesting to see how we view ourselves. He seems to have blown up all the bits he doesn't like. For example, there is a very small kink in his nose, where it was broken at some point. But in his sketch it appears to have become his main nasal feature.

But, well done sweetheart

20 min sketch, with bonus doodle

Comments welcome, I can't draw as well as I paint, hence the needed practice .

For 10 minute sketches these are good.I think your eyes are a little off in the first one,but the pose is a three quarter one never easy to do.In the second one you definately look more like the first one you did.So the doodle in the background is of you playing a guitar then?So come on then tell us all,are you a rocker at heart?

I also think for fast sketches these are good, but definitelly need more practice in anatomy - face oval, eyes, facial proportion, but the pencil technique is very good and expressive.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

for a memorable twelve months while I was doing my A levels I thought I could be the next Jimmy Page, I had the leather jacket, the les paul guitar and the long hair. Then reality set in and I realised that I didnt have the good looks or the talent Three out of five members of the band were art students so we came up with caractures of ourselves and this one was mine

Sorry nothing for wednessday as I went to bed early and didnt have time during the day. Here are yesterdays which I forgot to post

as the coments agree with what I thought was the main problem I decided to go back to basics and construct a face. I used felt tip pens blue for the basic construction lines, green for the finding lines and then purpleish red for the final lines and hatching all told about a 10 minute sketch

after that though I kind of rebelled and did a 10 - 30 minute biro sketch that I let myself get creative on

I think I'll have to give this a try. I did by a bound drawing book years ago with the intention of doing something similar, but it was so nice i didn't want to ruin it by drawing in it. You are more patient than me, Tim

Hi Hawkwood,that explains the doodle then,thought it might of been something like this
I like your back to basics pic,sometimes you have to do this just to remind yourself of where everything should be.Before i learnt to do faces properly,in my ignorance my faces would have the features in all the wrong place,nose too long,eyes too wide and the most made mistake in human portraiture was that i would start the eyes way too far up the head,until someone showed me that they should be put halfway.
Last one is good,not sure about your rebel one,you look kinda of angry
