M2M Day 38: Finishing my first portrait
This post is part of Month to Master, a 12-month accelerated learning project. For December, my goal is to draw a realistic self-portrait with only pencil and paper.
Today, after another 2.5 hours of work, I finally completed my Derren Brown portrait.
In the coming days, I will write a few detailed posts about what I’ve learned, how I plan to move forward, etc., but for now, I’ll just share the final photos of my progress.
Today’s progress
I started off by detailing the lips.
Then, I added the mustache.
With this facial hair momentum, I finished off the beard.
Then, the ear.
Finally, I completed the neck, decided not to address the clothes, signed it, and I was done.
For my first portrait of the month, I’m quite happy with how it turned out.
