This week we were tasked with drawing the human face.
Overall, for me it was initially hard to start the piece, because when drawing anatomy, it is hard for me to gauge measurements in proportion. However, as I progressed through the piece and started to add tonal value, the work improved.
The most difficult part was getting accurate details, due to Rex's darker skin tone, it was difficult to see where some features started and ended. Most notable was the left eye, it was difficult for me to see the contrast between the background behind him and where the face ended, additionally, him having brown eyes also made it difficult to distinguish where the contour was.
But overall, I would like to take my tonal value forward and improve this, I think that brining this to the forefront would help bring out features and contour in order to get a like-for-like representation.
The basic tonal render is there, giving a good understanding of the form, however, this could be improved upon, as previously mentioned. Whether it is the paper or the pencils I am using, the overall build-up seems a bit rough, however, this could be the technique I am using. What the rendering quality lacks, makes up for in understanding where the lighting of the piece is coming from.
