My son is a huge fan of Manchester City, so he asked me to draw a picture of his favourite footballer; Sergio Aguero. After searching the internet for a decent reference photo, I began preparing the page on my sketchbook using the grid technique. After carefully sketching the outline, I began shading. The whole process took me just over a week to complete, and here is the finished drawing:
I had some difficulties with the eyes, and altered that area of the face quite a few times, especially the left eye (as you look at the picture). I had to try and position the eyes so that it appeared that he was looking out into the distance. I completed the drawing using 2H, 2B and 3B graphite pencil on standard sketchbook paper. Despite the difficulties in completing parts of the face, I am pleased with how this drawing turned out.
