Description Drawing exercise

Graphite pencils on paper
Size: A4
(this picture is croped down and shows about 21x24cm)

Time ca 10 hours

Graphite pencils HB-8b
Mechanical pencils H,Hb,2b
Blending sticks
Kneaded eraser

I used a photo of Milla Jovovich as reference.

This time I used a new paper again. This paper is very soft and has almost no texture to it. It is called Durex.



The whole idea with this drawing exercise was for me to see if I'm able to spend so much time and effort on just a pair of lips.
I asked myself.
If I would ever make a detailed portrait on a larger scale, like A2. Would I have the patience to finish it?.. and would I keep the same high level through the whole drawing?

I guess for me to be able to do that, I would have to think of it as more then one drawing. Like for example the lips is one drawing, then next the eye is one, and then the fringe and so on.

Also this exercise gave me a good look on how lips look upclose and how to draw them which will help me on future drawings.

Next up I think will be an eye! ^^

I have chosen not to have a watermark on this drawing because it looks so bad with it.
Please respect the copyright and do not use my drawing without my permission!
