Hi Denny, ...what can I say! I was overwhelmed by the kindness and thoughtfulness of your critique. You have given me an abundance of information here, thank you for giving me so much to think about. My interest in pencil drawing has gone up quite a few notches now! That little spark that got me drawing Pete Duel, well I can believe it is going to grow. Thank you so much! BTW I went to view drawings in your gallery here and I think they're so great ... I'm planning to look some more, and want to see the tutorials too. Victoria
Original Post: Pete Duel in pencil
I haven't practiced doing a likeness in a couple of years. I would like to get better at pencil drawings too. I used an H pencil and one that was softer and darker. The reference photos I looked at were from a website. I wanted the hat to look like some soft material, but not smooth... The jacket I believe was suede. He is outdoors in the photo. I wonder about how he is placed on the paper. Also is some background needed? Vicky
