Week 15- Human Head Construction.

For this task, we are actually required to draw a human being, which is what I love most, and also the thing that I have the most experience with. In my head, the process that I have to go through is very clear, so I started working straight away.

The first step was making a quick sketch, focusing on things like symmetry and proportions.

After that, I refined the features so that they would look accurate to the ones in my model. That meant also making some unsymetries. 

To speed up the process I added some graphite powder to get a nice uniform tone, which I had to erase heavely on the face since I ended up using too much.

Starting with the face, I have tried to keep what my professor has told me in the past, which was that I had to be more gentle with my shading and have nicer transitions between the shadows and lights.

I made the hair quite dark, in order to add more contrast to the entire image.

After some further feedback from my teacher, I ended up erasing the harsh line between the face and neck, which was breaking the picture, and also added some more contrast to the overall image.
