Worked on newsprint paper I'm not crazy about as it will only let you go so dark even with the soft pencil leads.

Today's Sketch - One of the Guys at the Packing House Gathering
For today's sketch, I went with graphite. I still have a ways to go as I practice people........capturing their likeness. I had problems with his hands as I captured him holding them in a strange manner. His beard is what caught my eye..........so black and thick!

This is a great likeness! I have such trouble with faces. I can sketch other things about a person without feeling TOO intimidated, but faces...ugh.
Thanks Susan :-) Faces intimidated me too and I made up my mind I was going to work past that. I have several subjects, in fact, that makes me feel that way and are on my to-do list to overcome.
Have you seen videos on YouTube by TheVirtualInstructor? Several free videos to view and then I'm checking out his in depth course at his website.
No, I haven't seen The Virtual Instructor's videos. I just took a look at the YouTube page, and they look helpful. Thanks!
