More Portraits!!! (rubs hands together feverishly)





Today I fixed up a bit of yesterday's portrait:













I made the mouth wider and the chin less awkward. I softened some of the highlights as well. I did not move the eyes because that would be too much work.









I also did my professor:

and the same girl a second time but they were both sitting, it was not a "draw off" like the last one. This second piece is of course unfinished because we only had about 20 mins to work on it before class ended so we will pick up on it tomorrow so I should have a more complete piece then.




As you can see with the pieces that I worked on exclusively today I had some trouble with the eyes and it came out as cubist Picasso esque and that was not intended. I erased the eyes on both pieces but I did not get a picture of the professor before I erased the eye and I took the picture of the girl before I erased. I would have had another piece to post but I sat for a while so the class drew me. it was an overall tragedy so I took a picture of myself today and plan to spend some time working on it and hopefully I can do a better job than they did. When I post it I will post the picture I took as well as a basis for comparison.
