879: Understood, for tomorrow's study I'll tone down the shadows a bit. I decided to pick a better portrait from a different resource I have been getting the portrait refs from.
So, more boxes, another portrait and some skull sketches because I haven't drawn a skull in a while and it shows. First time I've used Photoshop in a while. Might do some portraits in it sometime, haven't rendered in there for about a year. Been trying to get my construction to improve as well as my perspective.
I've always hated perspective, I have that Scott Roberts book and the difficulty curve really confuses me. So maybe I should find another book for a brainlet like me?
The portrait was done in a H pencil for the light contruction sketch, HB for the shading and harder lines and a 6B for the background(?). Anyway, I feel I should've used my 2B for the darker since HB may be too light.
Another thing I need to focus on is proportion, so I might be doing studies from Hampton and Bridgeman again for the next week or so.
