Due to a busy semester, I’m rusty as hell in the drawing department, and so have been trying to find time to practice some faces in a graphic style. (Click for larger view.) I’m forcing myself to do it all digitally from scratch, just to encourage myself to get used to being in full-on drawing mode (not just inking mode or painting mode) on screen. In view of a certain film release coming up, this gentleman’s face has started turning up on magazine covers, and so I used one as reference for a quick sketch (see rough on right), and then did some over-inking (digital) and colour finishing experiments here and there, with the result at the top. Title*: “Not Uncle Quentin”.

Wow, that’s pretty amazing. Is the screen that sensitive? I mean it is a very fine (and very good) drawing.
My son works at the New Beverly. QT’s theater. He only shows celluloid.

What does it mean to do it digitally? Are you drawing on a tablet or so?

Fantastic! It is a very rewarding journey. It’ll all come with practice, practice, practice. And a little well placed knowledge. Drawing is really finding the (moving) balance between drawing what you see and drawing what you know. Knowing which of those two to use in any moment comes with practice.
I’ve been trying to learn to draw. I’m a long way off from doing any decent faces…I’ve mostly been working on simple 3d forms
