House Art WIP 7 (only one more to go!)

[tripperfunster]

Okay, we're getting to the end here! Can you tell I am SOOO avoiding doing his hair? urhgg..
I did the beard/scrub. I'll have to see how I like it in the morning.
I have to fix/finish his left (my right) shoulder, and perhaps make his chin a tad rounder, plus darken the shadows on/around his eyes. I'll also go over all the dark areas with a 6b pencil. so far, aside from the original light sketch, that I did with ....an H? I dunno, whatever's light and lying around, the rest is done with a woodless 4b. I find, when the numbers get too high, like 9b, they get too waxy.

But first ... the hair. *shudders* I hate mid-tone semi-curly hair! whaaaaah!

Oh, and that blue line on his hand? That's where my original line art had his chin! bwahaha that would have been a disaster.

Noses? Really? I LURVE drawing noses! to me, they totally make the face. Eyes are important, obviously, but really, they're all pretty much the same. (in black and white, anyway) but everyone's nose is sooo different! Plus, they make the coolest shadows. (why do you think I like drawing Snape so much?????)

:D

Yes, noses are my least favorite part of anything. lol I think I'm just plain scared of them, and am afraid of making marks around that area so they end up being underdeveloped and weird-looking. Even in figure drawing class, I'd crop things so I could avoid some part of the face that involved the nose. My teacher called me on that a few times.

I don't draw much anymore (and when I do, it's not very realistic), so I haven't practiced faces for a while either. The stuff I do now is more cartoony and I leave as much of the nose out of it as possible. You should do a nose tutorial sometime!
