Face Sketches

Towards the end of last year, I set myself a challenge to do at least a head sketch each day. This exercise was inspired by Chris Legaspi of Freshdesigner.com, The image on the left is a compilation of all the head sketches I did last year. You can click on it to see the bigger version.

My intention was to finish drawing all the photos in Freshdesigner reference photo gallery However, this exercise was disrupted by a year-end overseas trip and I did not get back to it after that. I still want go back again and draw all the photos.

Pencil Portrait by Banzchan on Deviantart

When I first saw the commissioned pencil portrait by Banzchan from Deviantart about a month ago, I thought they were what I want to do - to draw from photo in my own style.

I wanted to blog about his work a while ago but did not get to do it. Earlier today, I was surfing Deviantart and could not find Banzchan's gallery. After a lot of hunting and searching on the internet, I finally manage to locate it. It seems that I have remembered his nickname wrongly. So, I think I better blog about it quickly since I am at it.
