For the sake of completing what I have started, I am posting the finished portrait of Brian. I am not happy with the conclusion at all. I feel I lost allot of his likeness in trying to take the drawing further. I was very frustrated with the mouth, actually the whole muzzle area.
Did I learn anything? YES - that one must move methodically and slowly, continuously paying attention to a miriad of issues. Issues such as tonal range, likeness, placement of features (underlying form), quality of each and every line drawn, and last but not least, knowing when to stick a fork in and call it done!!
On to the next project. . .
Thank you for all your input, as always it is a great learning experience. You all contribute to the development of my learning curve. I am forever grateful!!
