Week 11 - Sketch and drawing practice (human detail)

After the lesson this week, I felt inspired to start practicing sketching human elements. I know through my own experience and by talking to artists or watching an interview on them; that getting the head structure and hand structure right is very hard as there is so much detail.

I decided to practice my drawings of heads/ faces and hands:

The portrait sketch that I originally tried didn't work very well as all the proportions were wrong; because of this I decided to research tips and hints for getting the correct structure and proportions, by following the step by step lessons and tips, I understood more on human head structure.
Below is the 'template' for head drawing that I created:

The template lines the have been drawn allow me to see how the eyes line up with the ears and the mouth.






















Below is my hand sketch:

With regards to the hand sketch I just used my own hand as a reference to get the shape and detail down.
