Head study and personal expression

Check out this journey of progress shots on how I see and move this drawing along. I am beginning to see, that I actually see a lot more than I give myself credit for. So instead of looking for a smooth perfect drawing, I really allow myself to leave the patches of light I chose to create. I believe it’s my eyes perceiving warm and cool next to one another. I’m not controlling the drawing process at all and therefore leaving room for my brain and eye to do as they please while Im studying this image. The inspiration image is sourced from “ Drawing the Head”, by Oliver Sin. I can sense that when I made this drawing I was definitely thinking of painting. To me, for work to not be grueling I have to be able to lose control. So fun. here is the video below.
