I’m really happy with this sketch of Ron McA from Sktchy. I tried to just keep it simple and it worked. I like the mood and the pencil work. If you’d like to see the original photo reference, you can click and swipe on Sktchy here.

It has a nice fresh feeling.

Thanks Aly! That was my goal but it’s also something that’s hard for me so I appreciate the comment!

Thanks Chris,
I’ve been working on a painting that is driving me nuts and I think the problem stems from the original photo being distorted (thinking of your comments on my previous sketches from screen grabs off the TV). I wondered if you’d be willing to take a look at the photo and where I am now with the painting and give me your thoughts? If you’re willing to take a look, what’s the easiest way? Email or a private page on my website I can share with you?
Although I believe in finishing things, I feel the urge to cut my losses and move on. I’ve drawn and redrawn on paper the portrait numerous times, thought I had it sketched out properly, but once I painted it (and repainted and repainted) I’m getting the feeling that the problem is the distortion in the original photo (which I was only attracted to by the color in the background which reflected on her face).
Thanks!
Jana
