Today I’ve tried this portrait construction method for the first time, and I do like it lots more than the grid method. It’s from the book “Lessons in Masterful Portrait Drawing”.

I believe I now have the proportions mostly nailed, pending the mouth and eyes, heheh 😙😅. (The face was too narrow on her right side.)

Seriously, though, I’ve been able to find and fix many mistakes, and am now approaching the rendering stage. [sweats]

All right, I did a lot this morning: Reduced the right eye, drew her left eye, corrected the tilt of the mouth, adjusted her subtle smile, reinforced her left cheek.
I’m way happier with the resemblance of this portrait. What do you think?

Now working on her hair. It’s scary, and I’m learning as I go. I’m happy so far.

I didn’t get a chance to advance the drawing for a couple of weeks, due to finally getting some paid work.
Now the hair is almost there, yay 😁

Hair almost done. Now I’m adding shading on the face and contrast everywhere, plus getting the blouse drawn.

Turns out the lady has a body under that floating head of hers!

Almost there! I adjusted the eye separation and size, and started rendering the details on the blouse.
I’m really happy with it, even though I’ve spent so much time staring at it I can only trust my eyes so much.

Oh, I’m already working on another portrait. (I actually started it before the one above with the woman)

@ahe je pense que l'oeil gauche devrait être un peu corrigé parce l'iris est un peu trop à gauche. Comparez avec la surface du blanc de l'oeil

@plume_mouette Do you mean her left eye, or the eye on the left side of the drawing? 🤔

@ahe son oeil gauche, du côté droit du dessin

@plume_mouette Thanks, you might be onto something there. I will give it some thought, it’s my early attempts at portraiture and I’m still putting out fires everywhere until I get more used to the process.

@ahe le portrait est un exercice difficile, surtout quand il veut être réaliste...mais vous vous en sortez déjà pas mal ! Bonne progression !
