Fine Art Sketch/Study

Sketch 2018-3

This is another prompt from a daily drawing group on Facebook, but this time I attempted hatch shading.  Human faces are terribly hard for me.  It’s not at all accurate to the reference.  I also tilted the image slightly and lost the feeling that she is leaning forward, and had more than a little trouble with her right hand.  I don’t feel I’m being overly picky with myself.  Noticing such details allows me to understand where the drawing didn’t come out the way I wanted it to, so that hopefully I can do it better next time.  I view errors in art as a way to learn and grow and develop, especially when creating sketches and studies specifically to rebuild my skills.

The reference photo is from a Catwoman cosplay done by Mel Meow Cosplay.
