sketcharoo 25






this is a double-drawing, picture-heavy post. partially because my scanner is working but mostly because the WIPs were taken at 14MP each. i couldn't figure out how to decrease the picture quality on my camera. and i'm too sleepy to discover.



this is my twenty-eighth drawing. did this last june 1, wasn't able to upload the WIPs soon enough. my first drawing after several weeks of hiatus. not too pleased with it, i'm seeing all sorts of wrong on the drawing. but this was the first time i actually drew a ball on the nose and it works! one big ass miracle. the nose almost came to life.




this is my twenty-ninth. jessica biel. i decided to really focus on the face this time. didn't draw much hair or neck, or shoulder. i wanted to really get the facial structure right. i had a hard time trying to figure out how to shade her cheekbones coz they're round. i had to consult anatomical illustrations of the skull and the face by tortora. (he's still my favorite anatomy author) not sure if i did her cheekbones justice. but i like the end result. i figured i could still shade everything a tad darker but i didn't want to destroy the picture. ha, this is me getting attached to the end product again. yikes. (sorry master! :P)

it's 1030pm now and i might just draw another one. the project finale. just to keep me busy. i don't like idle time. makes me dwell on sad thoughts. but art therapy works. works wonders actually.

afterthought:
i can't decide how many drawings i'll do for the next project. i'm thinking 15. or 10. anything above 30 is just too much. how about 5? hahaha. i can't wait to start using my colored pencils! but i still need a kick-ass sharpener.

delicious ambiguity.
