My mime….part 5



Lions and Tigers and Bears…oh My!!  Heads and Faces and Proportion…oh My!!



This drawing stuff sure keeps me on my toes…..just when I think I’ve got a somewhat accurate portrayal, with the shading and the features. 



I step back and go….”EEEK!”.  There’s always another unforeseen element I forgot to consider.  At this point I really don’t know if I made the head too small for the body or the shoulders too big for the head.  I don’t know if I can contour up that left side and erase away some of that bulk.  I guess if I’ve had a good night’s sleep and a strong cup of coffee….maybe…just maybe.

  1. Yes, something is not quite right! But you got the expression exactly. Isn't that the hardest thing to capture?

    I am packed and ready to have breakfast. Windy and rainy here so I am allowing extra trime for the trip.

  4. I think this is fabulous, I wouldn't worry about perfect accuracy because it leads to almost never being satisfied and this is such wonderful work. Thanks for sharing, Jennibellie xx
