For this exercise we were asked to look into magazines, on the TV and different images at people and do a couple of pages of facial features for such things as eyes, mouths and noses. After this we were then asked to try and draw an entire head and face and don’t worry about it being untidy and overlap. To just experiment and see how the work turns out, below are the pictures of my results.
I liked focusing on the different features of the face in this exercise, I found it was a better way to focus on detail and getting the right lines on the drawings and making sure all of the proportions are right and it doesn’t look alien. I do think I did well on these , I do need to practice more on mouths because I feel they were the weakest of the different features I did but the rest I was happy with the results, I would like to keep doing these practises just to get stronger at drawing individual features.
I found after doing the features individually it did build up my confidence and it made it a lot easier to put them all together in the last portrait. I do think this helped build up how the final piece turned out and it was better for me to fill in the detail throughout the last piece of this exercise. I do feel like it turned out well but I want to continue to try and build up a more realistic look. For my first portrait in this section I do feel like it went well and I am excited to further doing these pieces in the rest of the part.
