Post #6 of 100 – 100 Portrait Challenge (in pen)
I dislike Justin Bieber… and I dislike the fact that this is my best 30 minute sketch thus far… but I like that I’m making progress. Grrrr.

My first 30 minute sketch… turned out alright I suppose… I compared it with the original photo and the lines are close… the nose in my sketch is skinnier and a tad lower but overall the dimensions were pretty spot on.

After doing a little reading on the subject, I’ve modified the challenge. Instead of doing 5 drawings per person, I will only be doing one. 30 minute time limit per sketch. Foundation lines in pencil, final lines in ink. Art takes time, and finding the right line can take time and practice as well. The 2-4-6-8-10 minute drills work great in theory but over the course of the challenge I’d only become really good at 2-4-6-8-10 minute drawings, that’s not my goal.
I’ll still continue my 10 minute sketches but there isn’t much use for 2-4-6-8 minute ones.
Next up is Paul Bettany… 1 – 30 minute sketch.
