Day 14: quick sketch

11" x 14"
oil on canvas

I have decided to pick up the pace on these studies, so for this one I only allowed myself 30 minutes after sketching in the face. I drew the overall face first than timed myself to get the values down in only thirty minutes. It is not great, to dark,  but I actually got more done than I thought I would. I am going to try a few more of these as I can see how this helps when I work with a model instead of a photo.

  2. Thanks Chris! Yes I mapped out the features in a drawing and then I set my timer for 30 minutes. I was surprised how much I did get down but I was determined.
