Attempt One:
The sketch looks wrong. I cannot see a likeness here. Sometimes, when doing a gesture rough, you get it right the first time. I could start overt totally, but I chose to fiddle a bit to see if I could improve it. I tried to distort and "gesture sketch" but lost the likeness on my first attempt. I always run rough sketches to see if the character and likeness has been captured. It can go wrong pretty easily so I tried again...
Sketch Three - Detail added
This is where I wanted to go! Just a few tweaks to provide some confidence that the likeness will emerge....
Four - Add some colour!:
Five - Block in colors with few as possible strokes:
This gives me an idea of the redness of the face and hair color
Step Six - Rough Detail:
Final - Wrinkles, hair and texture:
Thanks for popping by!
Until next time!
