This week I worked on drawing plaster heads. I've had experience with drawing portraits in the past but I've never done anything up to a finished level. This was a challenge for me but I worked though it by doing some sketches from references first. After warming up, I started with the first sketch of the first model.
For the second sketch I did a different kind of shading style.
For my finished pieces I used a combination of hatching and blocking. I don't believe they turned out particularly well, and now that I look at them there are severe proportion mistakes. The shading is mediocre at best as well.
Overall I think my lack of experience with drawing portraits has really held me back this week. I didn't particularly enjoy making these either and I think it shows. For the next time I do characters I think I will try a different shading technique.
