Faces are hard


So I have a problem with drawing faces but I can't say I have ever been trained or have taken the time to learn the art form and so I have a bit of an excuse. I noticed that her arms are a little short too. It was pointed out to me that when drawing a dancer like this, you should always make the arms longer than you see them to add to the gracefulness. Anyways, I drew the ballerina last night and the others a few nights ago from the Ensign magazine. I figure a ballerina is a safe reference to draw from since they are draped and they show gesture. I need to get myself a chamois because using my fingers to blend makes it look a bit rough.

Neal - I am going to email this to you to see your take on it.

I think they look awesome! You should have me draw a picture of a face and put it next to yours! That would be funny...
