Chicken Scratch



Quick pencil sketches.

I've been trying to break down human faces more lately. I've always had an aversion to drawing people. Time to get over that! Now if only I can start drawing them out of profile... I came up with this odd angle technique that has been very useful to me, but like any technique it could become a crutch, something that prevents me from learning more.

Katy, that technique is perfectly valid - check out this post from Gurney's blog:

I think my issue with it is that I like drawing profiles, but I haven't figured out how to apply this technique, or a similar technique, to draw faces fromother angles.
