Christine in Profile
Below is the very beginnings of a portrait of Christine in profile. I need to pose a question and am hoping for some help. As you can see in the photo reference, there is little form definition in the face, so I will probably keep the drawing softer. To better define the profile and make it pop, I began to shade the background. I like how it looks against the face, however I don't know how far to take it.
I'll admit to being clueless with background shading as I like to keep it clean, usually. Any pointers? Maybe I should scrap this beginning and begin again without any background shading? I guess I am feeling very unsure of myself. . .
In need of direction!
Thank you
Pat
