Day 29 - Done in Ernest



One grizzly bearded face deserves another so after learning how to draw beards with Steve Jobs I was eager to continue working with beards on another.

This drawing of Hemingway the novelist came together well using mostly soft pencils and quite a bit of the paper blending tools. I am happy with how the eyes work together. This drawing went fast compared to many others - about an hour.

As the 30 day/30 portrait adventure comes to a close I'll say it's been fun and exciting. It's taken discipline to devote a couple of hours to it every day for a month but the payoff has been much improved drawing skills and confidence. Seeing ability and speed improve is exhilarating.

One last drawing tomorrow for day 30!  Who should it be?? ?
