Head Cast Sketches in Early November (^o^)

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the month of November so far although were at the beginning. I thought I'd share some more head cast sketches from the National Portrait Gallery yesterday afternoon:

Out of the ones that have been shown in this post. This one would have to be my favourite. It most definitely looks like the actual marble cast itself:

As I've previously mentioned in my last post it will be the last time that I'll be doing head casts from this gallery. From next Sunday I'll be at the Victoria and Albert Museum doing sketches of clothes. But don't worry this isn't the end of the head cast sketches I will be making more at some point.

Head Cast Sketches for the last week of October

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant month. Here are some more head sketches that I created from the past two Sundays from the National Portrait Gallery.. (This does not include the Sunday that has just gone.) Throughout the past three months, there was a reason why I chose to do these sketches of the casts. I yearned to improve on portraiture and also improve on drawing men. This of course turned out to be very successful. As this is the last couple of days until the end of this month I thought I share them with you:

Hopefully next Sunday, I'll be making as many head casts sketches as I possibly can, because I'll be moving on to creating more sketches on other things. I'm probably thinking either Jewellery or maybe clothes from different countries around the world. This might be done randomly. I might probably make more head casts sketches again at some point as I've had a lot of fun making these ones.

Once again Thanks for visiting my blog and please leave a comment! \(^0^)/

More Head Sketches! (^_^)

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing OK, and that you're enjoying October so far, I thought I'd show you some more head sketches. I did mention in my last post, that I will making more head cast sketches of men but I wanted to do at least another two women. One of them will show at the start and the other at the end.:

I thought that I will show the same favourite head cast again but draw her from a side view. It proved to work but I made a couple of mistakes but all in all it still turned out to be really good.

I will be making more Head Casts from the National Portrait Gallery next Sunday. I'm quite excited about this. I might include some portrait too. ^_^

Head Cast Sketches from the National Portrait Gallery 2 \(^_^)/

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all OK! I thought that I would show you some more Head cast sketches that I made last Sunday. It's been a bit of a while since I've did these. Most of the head casts are of women who have made a significance during the early 20th Century and also a few men from the Victorian Era. I hope you like them:

I chose to do the same head cast that you saw in my last post. I will draw her again but most probably from different sides.

I loved drawing the male head casts particularly with beards. I found it quite experimental to draw. The last head cast was quite difficult to to and I felt had to take my time completing it. It took me around 15 minutes to complete.

There will be more Head casts soon. Most probably within the next two weeks. I'm looking forward to doing more. The next batch will be of only men head casts.

Daily Sketches from May to August 2013 (^_~)

Hello Everyone and Happy September! I hope you've all have a fun and exciting year so far and enjoyed the month of August. Since another four months would have gone so I felt that it would be high-time I would show the next four months of daily sketches that I have produced from after April. Most of these sketches were created during visits to the National Portrait Gallery, bus and journeys on the tube. Plus while I was working either at the Cartoon Museum and during my breaks during my stewarding job. Enjoy!:

More Sketches (part 3)!

Once again but this time it was today, I visited the National Portrait Gallery, to create some more sketches:

Commencing from Charlotte Sophia: (1744 - 1815)

John Burgore: (1722-92)

Catherine Parr : (1512 - 48)

Catherine Stephens: Countess of Essex (1794 - 1882)

I was marvelled of how she was depicted on the painting, so I decided to do some more research on this person. From what I gathered, she was a soprano vocalist and an actress and quite known within the life that she lived.

Robert Burns (1759 - 96)

This final image is half completed however, I was amazed of how the sketch became almost accurate. This drawing will be shown again but completed the next time I return to the gallery to create more portraits.
