Flo's sketchbook

[Flo]

Here is a Sargent study from ref and from memory (haha so lame)

What did I learn:

- next to the eye is the plane change eyesocket<>cheeck
- next to some shadows he put a highly saturated area
- the jaw-line is a mix of hard, soft and lost edges (I have read this in Stapleton Kearns blog http://stapletonkearns.blogspot.de/2010 ... rgent.html you should check him out, he is super-smart)
- the eye lid (and pretty much everything else) has some clearly defined planes. Depending on the degree of smoothing it appears rounded off or square
- you don't have to draw every detail, some can be implied like the ear-rings and still work fine
- I haven't really paid attention to the color and the light and should do that more
