Focussing on planes, profiles and length of face. So these aren't homework, just trying to understand what I'm missing. There are lots more sketches than these but I think these show a bit of progress. And I know I'm still not quite getting it haha. Will pick up again tomorrow with planes part of homework.

Just something I did while on a train with nothing else going on. Now I'm looking at it again, it feels like the face is too prominent and too warm. To take this further, I'd try to darken the face a little, plus darken more around the head and silhouette of the shoulders to hopefully push them further back. Of course, I could also spend time trying to get a likeness but that wasn't the goal of the exercise. It's interesting to see how chromatic/saturated this kind of material gets. I think the pink feathery stuff transmits light and makes it more intensely colourful. It was also nice to see how colour temperature can tell the story of which planes are facing in which directions. At least it seems to me that the cool blue light tells a story of what faces upwards. Since my train journey finished I could not take it further, and some things like the colour of the jewellery I did not have time to really take a go at. The film is Wittgenstein directed by Derek Jarman by the way.

In person portrait, about 40 minutes. Can see the odd placement and size of things now. That philosophy is still with me! I tried to do a profile in second half and failed so I worked up on the pink sticky note contour instead (no marker hence grainy background). Also I redid a couple of homework study references and played a bit with biro today. Felt a bit hopeful. Not hopping too far ahead, just nice to let loose a bit.
