Peter's Sketchbook

[Peter]

I like the shadow mapped imagination sketch. I learned a ton about simple face drawing from copying john grello's stuff. With the asian man portrait i feel like if i could like grab the top of his head and jaw as if it was putty and widen it, like compress it, itd be more accurate. his nose is too long and his eyes look female. Again dude its just mileage i mean, doing more quick studies without values will help you get that.

Like get a pen and go through the entire loomis head book or something, dont spend tons of time on each drawing. In laying in that many heads, you'll go through tons of blunders and find what lay in techniques are resonating with you. Slowly it all pieces itself together, you'll see the mistakes as you lay it in, and correct them on the fly

Haven't heard of that artist before, I'll have to go check him out now. :) Yh I fucked up proportion wise on the asian man portrait, I remember looking at my lay-in and knowing something was off but didn't know what, only afterwards did I realise the points you made.

As you said just gotta put the miles in, I remember Jeff saying doing sketchs in pen is a good exercise so I'll be sure to try it out thanks. :)
