• Sugar Skull

      I worked on drawing a portrait of my dayghter for many many houres and it just never came together to look like her, so i chalked it up to practice and some time in the future i will give it a try again.

      Mean while, i thought there is no way i could mess up the expression on a Sugar Skull, so this is the results.

        Larry, first of all, don’t give up on that portrait just yet. Every artist has drawings that refuse to cooperate, especially when we’re trying to capture the likeness of someone we know well. Sometimes stepping away and coming back later is exactly the right move. As for this Sugar Skull piece, I think it turned out wonderfully. The symmetry, decorative details, and contrast all work really well together, and the eyes immediately draw the viewer in. The floral crown is especially nicely done.
        And you’re right, at least a sugar skull won’t complain that it doesn’t look like itself! 😄

        • @alihaiderrehman Thank you Ali. I plan on giving my daughter’s portrait another try soon. I pretty well wore out the paper on this try, but the next time I will pay more attention to proportions when doing the rough in.

          Love
