Portrait Drawing: The Messy Middle

 2/15/21

Can’t get the proportions of the nose right.  The problem is I just don’t like noses, the way they stick out from the face in profile.  I keep wanting to make them smaller than they are.

I tend to draw too lightly.  Need to go back to darken the shadows.  Make the face, especially, pop into three-dimensions.

Finally getting close.  Took a photo and posted it to my phone, to compare to later iterations.
