A Doodle, Man's Face, In Pencil.

Here is a little project I did when I was teaching some kids about drawing a basic face. It combines the characteristics of several resources.

Sketch of Face a doodle

It is not a project I am very pleased with but it has some good points.

I was trying to have his skin be pale and his hair platinum blond. It came out more cartoon than representational. I am not trying to draw a very real picture on purpose those who make pencil drawings that look like photographs are amazing but I wonder why bother and why not just take a photo. I want my drawings to look like drawings. I stop while they still look a little primitive.
