So over the weekend I decided it would make things easier for drawing if I started looking at the body piece by piece. For some reason, I have chosen the mouth to start this plan! Most of these sketches are drawn from photos as I have not managed to find a model or life drawing class as of yet. This makes things easier and difficult at the same time. In a photo, you can come back to a sketch and re-work it as the image you have been sketching has not changed at all, however a photograph lacks the 'life'. When you draw from real life, it is somehow easier to create a more life-like sketch as things like shading are easier to distinguish on a live model and also the haste to complete your drawing before the model changes position or gets tired brings life to the marks you make somehow. Don't ask me how they do this.. they just do. Nevertheless, here is what I have drawn so far.
For some reason a smile is the hardest thing to draw realistically. I can never quite get a smile to seem natural...
