This was a lesson on LFI2022 with Joan Martin. Her media was way more mixed than was mine, and her mark-making more experimental, incorporating a credit card and a chopstick! I simplified this one, and used the materials I had on hand. But it was fun to mess about.
I have to say this was one of the most challenging face angles ever, and I didn't entirely pull it off! And I even used a grid. Every once in a while there is a face that you look at, and you think you have it, and then you look back later and realize that one eye should be much higher, or the mouth is on the wrong slant, or the nose is too big, and this will definitely be one of them.
