La maîtrise du mimétisme : dessiner des portraits à partir de références

I edited my pic from the cartoon character to the facial mapping as it wouldn’t let me add another project

Thank you for the tips. Will practice your suggestions!

Hi Connie,Well done on your free hand drawing. You seemed to do well on the proportions so great job.May I recommend some exercises to soften your line though so you can get a more confident stroke with less wobbling. You should hold your pencil a little more loosely and do some shape exploration as you build up your illustration, this will help you get those perfect curves in the circles and bring life to your character. To get your hand to relax you can use a bunch of techniques, I would recommend though drawing a bunch of different marks, circles, hatching and wiggly lines to fill a page focusing on looseness and using different levels on pressure. This will allow you more control over your mark making. There are a lot more fun tricks you can do too to grow you pencil skill, most of which I go through in my short class 'warming up to create your best art' if you want to get a few more ideas.I look forward to seeing more of your work, just reply here when you add more in and I can come take a look.Keep creating, Cara

HI Connie,Thank you for joining this class.To better help my critique, which rendition of the character is this? it looks to be the first one, tracing to identify character shapes. Let me know :) Keep creating, Cara :)

I drew this character freehand.  Guess to practice shapes and objects
