Head Drawing
Here is another drawing copied from the book Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis. I took pictures with my mobile phone of some stages of the drawing. The paper is white but somehow appears gray on the camera. I like the feel of the Hahnemuhle nostalgie paper in combination with charcoal pencils.

This is a charcoal drawing copied from “Drawing the Head and Hands” by Andrew Loomis. I got the book last year as a Christmas present and I’ve been drawing and learning(!) a lot since I started reading.

Pencil Portrait
Instead of only posting for Illustration Friday on this blog, I thought I could post some other drawings as well. I love drawing heads from life, photographs or imagination. This one is from a still image on TV. 2B pencil on printer paper.
TV Portrait sketch
This is a sketch from a still image on the TV. I just sat down with my laptop, tablet and sketchbook pro in front of the TV and started drawing.
I then quickly colored the sketch with the copic markers in sketchbook. It’s amazing how fast you can turn out sketches with this setup.
Here is the sketch:
