Today and yesterday's pencil sketches based on photos. Firstly, the rock head:
Don't like this one. Problems with it (besides shitty proportions) are the fact that there are almost no discernible planes in the large shadow area. I just flattened it all. Upon later looking at the photo, I noticed large planes that I'd missed out:
More rock studies:
Much happier with these. Experimenting with lost edges, contouring and counting the actual main groups of values before hand, rather than just assuming it's either totally black or totally white. Also, the composition of the photo ref for the bottom one was really nice.
Comments and crits!
