I decided that I wanted to have another attempt at drawing a portrait, so this time I decided to draw my husband. I found a photo for reference, and began the grid method; one on the photo and the other on the page of my sketchbook. This was my first drawing of 2021 and my first in two months. The portrait took about two weeks for me to complete. Here is the finished drawing:
I completed the portrait using 2H and 2B mechanical pencils. I think that I could have shaded in the hair a lot better had I been using a wider range of pencil; I will use my Derwent range of pencils for my next drawing. I’m pleased with how this portrait has turned out, as I think that I have managed a likeness to the original photo.
If you like what you have seen so far of my drawings, I have now set up a new website where you can view my work. The web address is: https://www.debbielouart.co.uk.
