Sometimes I achieve a great likeness from life/ photo, but other times I do not. And of course I want to be consistent with this first before I try to do this for a living.
I am an eyeballer (wow, what a technical term!) I don't use rules or shapes or anything like that but I am very open to try anything that will help me improve.
So my question is: What's your method for achieving a likeness?
I am attaching an unsuccessful drawing I did last night to illustrate my need for help! I wanted to work fast and have fun, but got too involved. It's just a piece I wanted to do for practice and to get away from colored pencils for a little bit.
There are a ton of problems starting with the most important - eyes (my starting point), so instead of putting it in the critique section and then having to reimburse everyone for their worn out broken keyboards, I thought I'd post here as evidence.
THANKS!
