Next portrait

[Patricia Joyce]

I did some sketching this weekend and realized I would have a hard time doing Kris "flipped", everything looks too crooked!!

So, back to the drawing board. I looked through some earlier shots and found this one. The color is terrible because the lighting was a regular bulb.

I am not sure, I may have to go back and take more photos and that just means it will be awhile before I can begin this portrait because he is not home the next couple of weekends...

I do, apreciate your advice and all your comments, and comments on comments! It is a great volley of things for me to think about!!

If you are creating a black and white drawing why not just eliminate the color in the photograph?

[Patricia Joyce]

Thank you, Mike! This image looks better than the one I printed on my printer in black and white!

[Michele Rushworth]

In creating a drawing from this photo the only change I'd make would be to soften the edge of the cast shadow from his nose that falls onto the cheek on our right.

[Patricia Joyce]

Yeah, that bothers me, too.

BTW, I found the book I had mentioned last week, and forgot to bring it to work this morning. My computer at home has been down. I will try to remember it tomorrow.
