Dr. Who


As my art professor would say; 'Practice, Practice, Practice.
Exactly what I need to do to get this guy right.
But that's what I am doing. . . .I wanted to show a WIP . . . the picture is not quite right.


This is a pencil drawing.  He's a bit too somber and looks too much older than he is in real life.

Please take a look at all the talented artists on Paint Party Friday.  Each week we all come up with a different piece of art and it is exciting and interesting. 

Blessings,
Janet

    I like the looks of him. I make everyone look older than they are. I agree about practice! If only that it makes me draw looser and with more ease, less tension. HPPF!

    You've got a good start here. I can see Dr. Who in there already. Portraits do take a lot of practice but its so worth it, don't you think?

    Love those deep set eyes. You know the old joke -- How did the virtuoso get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice! Happy New Year and PPF!

    Great job. I think it's an interesting sketch in its own right, whether it looks exactly like the person or not.

    Pencil drawings are always the hardest thing to do. Happy PPF from across the pond.

    People, and in pencil like Soul said, are the hardest thing to do. Well done on this. We all need to keep practicing.
