I've been practicing my likeness drwwing skills. A good way to do that is draw very familiar faces. I've been practicing on celebrities. It's just been a few days since I started this practice, but improvement happens so quickly! (It's very satisfying. Try it!). Today, I give you what is actually my second shot at the face of Gandalf and Magneto: Sir Ian McKellen!
I worked small, and in gouache to help me work fast. I'm fairly unfamiliar with gouache, so part of this piece was just figuring out how it works. In real life, it's very flat, but it photographs with more fidelity than oil, as there is no tranparency to lose!
