Say Cheese…again
Well, I got the other two smiles done. I think this was a good exercise in imitating the picture dimensions. I like that I only worked with half the face. I can see so many things now that I’m through that aren’t quite right. Why do I only see them at the “completion” phase? Sure would be better if I could see it earlier, when I am still working the picture. Possibly, because I’m concentrating on other things; such as getting the shading right (you know making it 3D).
This one was more difficult than I thought it was going to be….after all I didn’t have to draw teeth! But that chin just perplexed me time and time again. It’s another picture of a head with a slight turn. Which I can’t seem to see correctly. This was the first time I have done a mustache and I pretty much just winged it!
The pictures resemble who they are but, I can see so many little tweaks that would make the drawing more accurate.
I had to go back to the colored version for the male drawing. I just couldn’t see where to shade if I didn’t.
I think I’ll do the eyes and foreheads of these same images next…….then I’ll cut them up and tape them together! Just Kidding!!
I’m ready for some color now!! I need a no-brainer activity.
I hate drawing teeth...my hat is off to you. Nice work, Eden!
ReplyDeleteWell done, very impressive work Eden!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! The mustache must have been a challenge.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the smiles all on one page made me think of those flip books we had a kids where you try different lips or eyes or chin one one face. The results could have us laughing for hours.
I wish I could draw faces that well Eden, I think you have done a wonderful job. And I like the idea of the foreheads mismatched with the bottom halves. That would be funny

Ahhh, thanks guys for all your nice comments.
ReplyDelete@Eileen- I love those books! That would be a real hoot to take different feature from each family member to create a whole new person. Ahh, just think of all the different combinations :D
