Sketch




'Bill' 8.5”x 10.5” graphite on Strathmore Drawing 400 Series



Another sketch from Wetcanvas November-December portraiture challenge.  I started this drawing with no real expectations other than to sketch, have fun and see where it takes me. 

There are two light sources in the photo and normally can be a problem for me, but the light weren’t equally as bright and there were enough shadows to easily resolve this.

I made it a priority to have a wide value range from the bright area in his shirt and highlights to the shadows and background.
