Roz declared here that March is Sketch Alun Armstrong month. I confess that I didn’t know who he was, however I decided to fit a few Alun Armstrong portraits into my general March project involving portraits and I am glad that I did. First, the overall idea is just playful. Second, he has a really fascinating face. Third, I’m finding it easier to work on trying to sketch people I don’t know. If I only get a partial resemblance, it doesn’t bother me.
Here’s the portrait that I worked on yesterday and today. The eye on the left is off as to placement and shape, but otherwise I’m very pleased with the result.
The first one I did had less resemblance.
For both of these, it was such a good exercise to push myself to complete a piece. The one in pencil is more of a sketch, but it’s a complete one. Honestly, I am kind of amazed that I can do this.
