To begin this drawing, I started with a line drawing which was first general, then made specific with more intense observation of my subject. After I had the basic line drawing\/outline of his face, I made a few adjustments to make it appear more realistic such as defining the eye shape, adjusting the nose shape, and finding where the shadows\/highlights were on his face according to his skeletal structure. I began adding shading to the entire face, and erased or darkened highlights and shadows. The lighting conditions were diffused so light wasn&#8217;t casting on any specific area of his face. After doing 2 more portraits, I feel as though this one is unfinished since the neck is left bare and some areas lack enough value or detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This drawing was an example of practicing portraiture &#8211; learning proportion and scale of facial features.
