Sketching week 4

   

One of my exercises this week has been drawing faces, using David Rankin's suggestions.

Here are two of my efforts from early in the week, using photos from magazines or websites.

On the way home from Auckland in the bus I tried sketching people from life.

This lady was waiting at a bus stop, but moved away before I could finish.

At the meal stop, this fellow-passenger was reading while he drank his coffee, which meant I had more time.

At least his head is a better shape!

I have been reading a book by Alwyn Crawshaw on sketching, and ploughing slowly through Betty Edwards's book I mentioned last week.
