RE: Drawing A Portrait [1881]

That blue pen choice on cardboard gives the face a cool depth, and the loose loops keep it fast and alive :)
Watching you build the shadows in quick circles, then tighten around the eyes, was BEautiful and very smart for control and speed.
I kept staring at the cheek planes, the values sit so clean yet lively ! spectaculra piece.

Thanks a bunch for the thoughtful feedback.

Anytime. Your piece is growing on me, the scribble flow keeps the face alive, and the blue on card feels fresh to. Planning more in this blue style? If you are explroing this series, maybe push a bit more contrast in the mids, would be fun to see :) I really like how the loose loops sit against the cleaner planes'
