Day 147

shadow drawing

Well, this was a fail. Quick Sharpie sketch of ChloĆ« Grace Moretz from Shadow in the Cloud. Again, the sketchpad on the knee, again the protractor – but I skipped the extra bag, as I’d raised the pad to the right angle by sitting differently. Well, either I settled shortly thereafter, or I’m doing something else wrong, because I stretched her head compared to the original:

As usual, there’s a 2-3 degree tilt I’m missing, but more importantly, the head I drew had to be shrunk vertically by about 15% in order to make it line up (and even then, there are other problems). I think construction lines will help, which I will return to in a few days if I cannot correct this stretching problem through the tilt of the canvas.

Welp, back to the drawing board.

Drawing every day.
