I forgot to mention I am working on small size for my June Guys. Index cards to be precise. That in itself means nothing when it is coming from my imagination, but when I want to make a face based on an photo, it is proving to be irritating to put it
mildly.
It is easier for me to work on large scale, even just journal size, to make a resemblance of the photos and I love doing that. But....
Yesterday a few male small faces were made and
thrown in the trash. I wanted to make a better Javier and he, poor thing, turned out worse each time.
I draw for pleasure and I always say to practice and you get better... but at that very moment there was no pleasure, I was just in the mood to say, toss it! lol (I should've taken a picture of the ones I tossed though... just for fun factor).
So, at this point, a few changes have been made in my mind:
1- This guy is
not Javier, and I am OK with it.
2- I will keep working on index card size, not caring for the results.
3- Some faces will be larger and not everything has to be "realistic"
With that mental pressure off my head, I will just add:
His nose in real life is crooked to one side and his mouth off center to the other; that is something that makes his face so attractive. Plus his dimples!
Anyway, here is my not-Javier portrait.
....and a video I just uploaded:
Thanks for visiting! I hope your June guys challenge is going fine!
Remember, it can be ANY number, we don't have to make one a day or anything :oD But practicing always makes you better at it.
