A lot of progress was made in the span of the last progress post and this one because of the amount of time I had to work between the posts. In terms of background, you can see how I've started to add marks similar to my Old Master's drawing in order to further emphasize the main figure of the sketch. I'm planning on most likely putting more marks on the left side of my shirt in order to balance out the composition. As you can also probably see, I finally drew in the lips, and I'm not quite sure how satisfied I am with them. Of course I'll continue to adjust them a bit, but generally speaking I think the size and shape of them are what I'm going for. In terms of the hair, for the purpose of mimicking the original Old Master's drawing I'm going to keep it generally empty save for a few defining marks since the original Old Master's drawing had hair that was more outlined rather than filed in with marks. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm going to want to do in terms of adding marks to the shirt since the shirt is a good deal darker than the rest of my figure, but I am reserved about making the shirt really dark for a couple reasons. First, I don't want to make the shirt so dark that the integrity of the marks gets washed out, and it just looks like one giant blob of dark. Second, I want to keep the focus of the drawing to be on the face, and I am concerned that if I make the shirt too dark then the emphasis will be taken off of the face and take away from the content of the drawing. I'm going to continue to contemplate how to remedy this, but for right now I'm going to leave the shirt as it is as to not ruin the drawing. |
