Hi, guys!
Yesterday I told you that I try to practice portrait styling, and I'm not very good at it, due to the fact that I constantly gravitate closer to realism than to stylization as such.
Fortunately, I have constant contact with the teacher. She is also from Ukraine, and also left Kyiv, fleeing the bombing. So we understand each other well. I send her assignments, she says what to fix and returns to me.
I am redoing the task with hair for the third time. Often not stylized hair is obtained, but some strange rags. But practice is the key, and you just have to keep trying.
The next task will be drawing eyes, and most likely tonight I will start practicing. This is usually my favorite part in a portrait. I like to draw the eyes first, I love it when the model is already "looking".
This is how my hair turned out yesterday. I had the pleasure of drawing while listening to a podcast from one of my favorite illustrators. Also from Ukraine. Now it is very pleasant to communicate with your friends, supporting each other.
This morning I woke up with severe hallucinations, so I'm still not sure if I'll be able to work normally. But I'll try anyway. Now I want to go and try to be treated by a dog, hugging her always helps to calm down.
And tomorrow I will try to show you sketches with eyes :)
Take care of yourself and your loved ones:)
