portraits!

Instructions

ah scratch, you wonderful quality ruiner :`) hello hello! i said a while ago that i was going to share some of my drawings, and i finally have! i know, it's a miracle that i actually had the willpower ;) these are three (the second is unfinished just fyi) that i've done in the last three months, and i think i've made quite a bit of progress! to see some portraits i made last year, visit my old abandoned acc - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/800190488 the fact that i ever though these were good.... HeLp- but i do like one of them, the others are so crusty jdkbbjhbjh i've now figured out a great way to do portraits. i used to freehand them, and they all usually turned out pretty good, it just took AGES- so now i find portrait study references, and then kind of map out their faces. i find all the little shapes that come together and make up their face, which with some is an easy thing and others....well lets just say it /can/ take a while to get it correct. by doing this, i can usually draw the outline of the forehead, jaw, chin, etc within a couple of minutes! when before, it would take me fOrEvEr to just get it so it looks sort of accurate :`) i used this on all of these portraits in this project. 1 - made this in march when i was procrastinating on drawing portraits for school :thumbs_up: I like her a lot but I think I'll go back soon and make it a little darker. lips need more shading *shudders* 2 - lol i hate this so much jbskbjagjgb it took so long to even get it to this stage. it may be the way she's angling her face in the photo that made it hard for me to capture it. i dont know, but the lips are wayyyyy to close to the chin....and that nose *screaming internally* heh- 3 - im definitely going to come back and try and draw this girl again in a couple of months :D 4 - mapped out the shapes of her face. like i said, her face is very angular so it makes this a lot easier! 5 - okay....this is slightly disturbing heh- but dont worry, eyes will come. trust the process ;) 6 - ta da! the lips are still bothering me and i didn't really get that intense expression she had that i love :`) the right eye is just…no and the nose- welp ya'll know my initials now :`) except some of you swcer's already did so i guess it doesnt matter xD and yes, i am the third person in my family to have those initials (its great because my grandma has all of her stuff labeled with her initials so those will all have to come to my dad and me >:D)
