less embarassing than the Backstreet Boys, I tried to tackle Neo from "The Matrix". Now, despite the fact that none of the faces look even remotely like Keanu Reeves, I like these. This is where I learned how valuable a tool an eraser can be. To get the texture of leather and vinyl, eraser can be used to pull out light spots. This drawing is when I first learned that. It's funny to see how line-y everything is. When learning to make things realistic, you learn that things like mouths and facial features can be implied
with shading technique rather than line. I hadn't quite realized that yet in high school... It's fun to see how I was figuring out things like texture even at that early stage. I think that it would be fun to re-draw some of these things I drew and compare. Maybe someday! Well, if I end up slacking off again, there'll be more old, embarassing drawings to come. As for Friday, it's back to the ornament.
