Always!

This is Ervik on the west coast of Norway in the early morning. I used charcoal and pan-pastel. It's 20x15 cm. It was done in a break between Mike's Videos to loosen up a bit and digest all the knowledge in those videos. I was unfortunate to drag some charcoal into the ocean on the right side. Well...

You have those facial features so well sculpted that I really feel the paper itself is bending and curving that way. Bearing your aim in mind, I think that's a direct result of focusing more on impression. I find the same when I'm drawing hair, or trees, or anything that isn't mimicking a reference....

If you need any assistance at any point, just post the drawing as it is. We'll all be happy to guide you through it.

And - needless to say - we're looking forward to seeing the finished result!

That said - my next challenge will be a dog with long hair. She is a mixed breed called Maia—a lovely little creature. I am afraid there will be a lot of "So.... no pressure on me then!" for you coming up. What the heck! Bring it on! I can stand the pressure... ;) Coincidentally, I was cr...

Thank you for including me, but at the moment I am fighting eyesight problems. Cataract I have waited for 5 years to be done and now AMD in one eye. I really hope you get that fixed soon. I don't have your problems, but I do have multiple floaters in one eye now, and double-vision when working clos...

If someone succeeded in wrestling those last sheets of Mellotex out of my hands, I’d choose Conqueror over Olin. Me too. But I think Olin might suit some people, and it's definitely cheaper, so I'm going to stock both. The worst that can happen is that a couple of hundred sheets of Olin will gather...

Ooooooooooooooo.... I wish! That's exactly what I have in mind. Thanks for the link - I think I'll just have to keep looking at it and use my imagination.
