Sept 1st: Graphite Portrait



Late last night I finished the wrinkles and lighting on the 1st kids shirt so that I could begin the kid in the middle today.  I realize early on that this face will be easier.   There's a lot less shadow.  Since he's looking at the camera straight on, it makes everything symmetrical and that much easier.  
Darkened the shadows.  Formed the eyes.  Drawing tip:  don't smudge anything with your finger.  Unless you literally just washed them.  Everyone has oils on their skin.  Oil+pencil=smudgy mess. 
The next couple of days I'm going to have to take off.  We're helping a friend move.  See you Tuesday blog!
