  • And some of them were just days apart. It must have been exhausting.

  • Thanks! The hair was interesting because there's very little tonal difference between the hair and the hat given the quality of the photo. So a lot of it is guesswork. But I think it came out okay.

  • Thank you so much! There's a subtle mischievousness to the original photo's expression that I haven't captured here -- but I'm happy with it.

  • That's awesome! I hadn't heard of her. I was in an antique shop and did a trawl through their postcard collection, and hers was definitely my favourite. I've looked her up since, she was amazing.

  • Thank you! Definitely not drawn with modern display technology in mind...

  • Thank you! This was the gnarliest alleyway I'd ever seen. It cried out to be drawn.

  • This is amazing. Love the details. Bravo!

  • Okay, that's it: you, me, that library, tonight. That chair is as good as matchwood, baby!

  • You know, I'm looking at the reference photo, and it looks like there should be one, but there just isn't.

    It's in a library and it's a weird stylish coffee-table chair. I feel like I should add one in the drawing as a passive-agressive dig at its designer.

  • If you're looking for art books, I can thoroughly recommend that perspective book, plus Barrington Barber's Fundamentals of Figure Drawing -- that's a really good one for drawing people. Also a Giovanni Civardi's Figure Drawing: A Complete Guide. Excellent resources I wouldn't be without.

  • I wouldn't say she's overdrawn at all. This is a great piece.

  • I learned from a book called Perspective Made Easy.

    To be honest, I wouldn't hold this up as a great example. There's a lot wrong with it. I insist on drawing freehand, but if you want to do the job properly, a ruler is a must, if only to pay out the guidelines. I'll probably do that for the next big project.

  • Thank you! I think so too, now my hand has uncramped and I can look at it without going crosseyed.

  • Ooh, this sounds like something I should look into. Is it good? I'm coming to the end of Disco Elysium so maybe I'll give it a go...

  • Thank you! And a lot of that is directly because of the book you recommended. It really taught me a lot!
