Head Sketch #11 - Happy New Years

This is Head Sketch #11.  This is a pencil drawing I have copied from a sketch book on soldiers in combat.  So Happy New Year and I hope 2019 brings health and good luck to you all!

Head Sketch #10

Back to the head sketch series.  This is a pencil sketch of a America GI from WW2.

Switch up - Octopus

I started working on head sketch # 10, but it was not working out.  So I switched up to this octopus design.  It is based on a Kona Hawaiian Cream Ale Beer can design.  My son James liked all things Octopi so I did this version of it.  It was done with black and brown pen.  It was completed with metallic pens.

Head Sketch # 9

I worked a variation on the head sketch.  This one in on grey paper and I used charcoal and pastel pencils of sepia and other earth color pencils.  This is a decent start on this type but it will need work to be better.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve

A break from head sketches today.  I finished this yesterday and posted it today.  I have a who;e sketch book of trees and this is one of the blank pages left in it.  This is all pencil work.

Head Sketch #8

As the title says this is sketch 8.  It is of my niece Sophia, though this sketch really looks like her mother, my sister.

Head Sketch #7

More of the Head sketch series.  This is a profile sketch in pencil.

Head Sketch # 6

This is Head Sketch # 6 in the 50.  More pencil work on white paper.

Head Sketch #5

I am back from a little vacation visiting the daughter in Utah.  I am continuing the head sketches.  My goal is to get to 50 head sketches.  It should make a difference in my abilities.  So I am working the pencil skills and portrait skills.

Head sketch #4

This is another head sketch.  I used white paper and toned it with pencil I blended in.  Then I used a 6B, 2B, and H lead pencil.  I used a kneadable eraser to get the white areas.

Head Sketch #3

Another Head sketch done in pencil.

Head Sketch #2

A pencil sketch of another head, part of the work on making sketches of heads.
