Monday’s Mug – Steve Workman

I’m horrible with representational drawing…. and so I chose my brother in law to be my first portrait. Don’t worry Steve, when I become a talented artist I’ll hit it again. Here’s the sketch, along with the source material… Please feel free to offer critique and feedback. I know his eyes didn’t turn out well, and in general the pencil strokes are too quick and strong. It ends up looking more like a doodle then a sketch. EDIT: I think after reviewing this more, the reason why I'm not comfortable with it is the size that I've drawn it in. I'm not used to drawing faces at this scale and it tends to magnify the mistakes and make my pencil strokes more visible - something to think about for the future.
