Face only a mother could love..

 A quick Pastel sketch using techniques from the book Drawing and Painting People-A Fresh Aproach by Emily Ball.
Gross detail was done,not looking at the Paper at all but staring at the mirror instead,extra details were done by starting at the nose as a jump off point,then not looking at the image until that particular colour layer was complete. I cheated by blocking in the background afterwards(a cardinal sin according to Ms Ball!). I Think next time will try not looking at all and using random colours then see how that goes.

  1. Looks great Ed, wether thats because you did it, or because it's of you I can't decide. What s it you are drawing on there, canvas? I like the texture. Can't wait for more.
