Six Portraits a Week – 6

And here are the drawings for this week.

I am still working out the details on how to do each facial part.

Especially the nose. I struggle with the nose.

I am still enjoying these quite a bit. But I am also struggling. Just trying to take it one day at a time and focus on drawing the faces.


Six Portraits a Week is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.

    Just a thought, just a thought

    I wonder if instead of doing portraits maybe one week you concentrate on eyes, another on lips, then noses, except that is not you objective, so maybe not a valid sugestion..I just wondered if by breaking it apart and then puttting it back together

    No? Maybe just ignore me

    I love the way you have done their eyes. I was so captured by their eyes that I didn’t even notice there noses until I read what you wrote.

    when i draw a face i use my held up pencil to their image/photo and measure the ratios between their features. as a rule the outside of the nose matches up with the inside of the eyebrows. hope this helps!
