Pencil Portraits






Gavlyn

As I probably mentioned, not too long ago near the beginning of the year I was finding it hard to get back into sketching and coming up with ideas. Whenever I hit a wall like this I like to revert back to some classic/ traditional approaches. Many times this is just some nice pencil portraits. This helps me get back to understanding facial structure, tones and values, shading. As someone who draws a lot of characters this is very important, and as you carry on you find yourself getting back into the swing of finding ways to animate parts of the sketch or make it your own with the style. I'm not a huge fan of photorealism, that's not my goal, I like things to look as realistic as possible but that's not my end goal.
