I’m having a problem with the portrait that I’m painting for a Portrait Swap. Went to WetCanvas! to look around and found the November Challenges thread in Painters Alley (digital forum). Here’s my attempt at drawing one of the references provided – the Man with a Cap.
There is a problem with likeness and I seem to make everybody without exception look much older than they are!! I know now that harsh and dark lines are the main reason and I’m trying to keep that in mind while drawing. I’m also trying to be concious of the the 3Dness of the subject so that makes one more addition to my list – practice shading to give an object form.
Digital. Made with Corel Painter IX.5. I’ve used various shades of Conte crayons.

Fantastic work again!

was hoping to see some from you too.
I actually have some sketches that I can put up but then I dont have time to provide a write-up..Hence the delay.
I’m hoping to get back to sketching daily again.
Excellent picture…you do some great work. Very cool website.
