    Thanks, Gabriel. I used Sanguine and Van Dyck Brown from Faber Castell’s Polychromos.

    Day 68 – I experimented with wash and pencil but I’m not that happy with the result.

    Day 63 – I took a look at what I’ve done so far and except for a handful of drawings, I am not that pleased so today I decided to do a small study after Rubens.

    The last one really looks nice, Erik. Regarding the learning process, what works for me is a kind of circular practice and a lot of “feeding the unconscious”; if I don’t understand something from the first try, I know it will eventually reveal itself, sooner or later but mostly through experimenting, observation and revisiting the fundamentals or breaking it down to even simpler exercises for myself. Keep it up!

    Thank you, Erik, Jaylene. Yes, it is sanguine but Polychromos from Faber – I find those very easy to work with and prefer them over graphite.

    Day 61 – Sketching the skull from different angles.

    Hi, the measurement/atelier method is a very useful tool when drawing from life but no as good when drawing from photos – you should be careful not to copy the lens distortion, that’s not how things really are and not how we see them (unless your eye is extremely close to the subject’s nose, but even then the subject’s eyes are still equal; in the above drawing the right eye is larger then the left). Before getting into the detailed planes of the head, I would try to get a sense of the overall construction of the head, a more basic representation – Steve Huston has a great course on that.

    I tried to correct the photo, the differences are subtle but hope it helps you to understand what I mean by lens distortion, also did a basic drawing with the mouse over it. Keep up the good work!
