Blind Contour Self Portraits for the February Faces Challenge Week 1

Kick in the Creatives is hosting a month-long challenge called February Faces, so I decided to do month of blind contour self portraits in ink, and then finish them off with watercolour. I’m using their daily prompt list to drive the poses I’m sketching.

Day 27 of 365 Days of Sketching People in Ink and Watercolour Challenge

Day 27 of sketching people in ink and watercolour. A chunky man for the Drawing Earthsworld Challenge portrait. A people sketch compilation for a postcard Swap. And three sketches of people from travel photos I’ve taken in Turkey and Portugal to show a difference between illustrative and looser sketching styles.
