Portrait 1 - 30 min



The image created on one layer with the use of a wacom tablet and stylus demonstrates soft lines and marks which add depth and shadow. The clumsy over use of a large brush is evident as is the unrealistic over worked and unrefined application of line. The hair looks rushed and scribbled and demonstrates a very ‘digital’ look. The quality of tone is effective. Though overly shaded in places, which creates an almost grubby look, the varying hue builds a 3D shape with a use of shadow. The colour adds little realism and just exaggerates the ‘grubby’ look created. Proportion is adequate and the detail is minimal and awkward. However I feel this is a good first attempt at a new technique but more control together with better observation skill needs to be adopted, together with drawing subject other than myself!!
