Half Portrait

Purpose:

To look closely at half of a portrait and complete the portrait by drawing similar features;

To practice drawing facial features: eyes, nose, and mouth

I think something I did well was mapping out the features and placing them to look like a cohesive face. Although I do think I did that well, I also think one of my biggest challenges was figuring out where the eye should be and the size of it. I tried around three other times and could see that it was either too big, too small, too close to the other eye, or too far away from it. I finally settled on the location that it is now and I think that it is the most accurate I could have made it. I also struggled with the hair as I haven't drawn realistic hair before.
