Portrait Drawing #2
Not as happy with my drawing tonight, even though I had the full two hours to work on it.
Her poor nose. I must have redrawn it a dozen times, and I still don't feel like I got it anywhere close to right. I think the problem was the proportions were wrong, but by the time I figured that out, I'd already finished her lips and chin, which I thought I'd actually done well and didn't want to do over again. Also, I made some last minute adjustments to her right eye that resulted in the wonkiness you see here. I think I had reached that line where you've done all you can do and anything else is going to fuck it up... and then I did some more.
I sat on the right side of the room instead of the left this time -- maybe that threw me off? Ah, well, I still had fun.
