WED. 5/1 Self Portraits

Steven Freebairn

Students completed work on their self-portraits last night. First, we did warmed up with two skeletons drawing them from different angles every couple of minutes.
Steven's drawing above exhibits a good sense of the underlying bone structure illustrated in the subtle shifts of value across the face. The hair is typically a problem area; usually getting "over-drawn". Steven has done a great job with his hair by laying down tonal areas and then working reductively as well as additively to rendering groupings of the hairs and highlights.
