Sketch of a Woman’s Face

drawing-100016

Every day I do several hours of sketching with a ball-point pen. This time was a drawing of a woman’s face. I’ve divided it up by sections created by the facial structure — the eyes and brows, mouth and nose, chin and cheekbones. I’ve portrayed light and shadow — the darker shadow with cross hatch. You’ll notice the hair drawn in the direction it naturally flows on the model.

You sure get a lot out of a Bic pen!! I admire the discipline which keeps you drawing every day.
