This guy knew I was sketching him and would not keep still. So I ended up with a page of false starts which I quite like.
Whereas this guy was so lost in tired daydreaming I think a meteor could have struck us all down and he would have been left blinking in the rubble saying " Sorry, I missed that ? "
This one was also done on the way home from life drawing, and it amuses me that I used pencil instead of my usual weapon of choice, pen. Like that was the mode I had been set on that night, and nothing was going to change that. Like I had gone back to the factory default settings. And I was conscious at the time I couldn't get the shading as dark as I wanted, but it didn't figure to me why until much later.
The second guy looks like he's worrying over something. Lovely drawings, Keith!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of that Jeff. Worry will cancel out a meteor strike any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI love the cross-hatching on the second guy's face... not too much; just enough, just right.
ReplyDeleteGetting that after work stubble darkened jowl thing.
