It's a fairly simple model, monotone, and simple shapes.
This should give me some good practice on tonal shading.
Ignoring what I know about anatomy and sketching what I saw, the eyes are a tad bit farther apart than I'd like them to be. Good thing it doesn't matter. (Hamm suggests in his book that you should fit a third eye in the space between the two.)
Sometimes being just a little off gives off a very uneasy feeling that can either add or detract from a painting or drawing. The pencil sketch doesn't mean anything though, there's still time for corrections when I actually paint the thing.
For this sketch, I used a 0.5 mechanical pencil loaded with HB lead on student grade 90lb cold press.
