Reference Drawing

Random Woman Drawing 

Drawing from reference has further developed my skills as I had to use my memory in order to create the work which gradually improved when I looked at the original image again and made a new painting.

As I progressed through the image making I began to notice more detail in the original image which I translated into my painting.

When the image was put in front of me to work with it became a lot easier to add more shade and light areas using the ink which improved the painting drastically. I accidently started painting the image with zoomed in proportions which I continued throughout the rest of the piece which allowed me to add a lot more detail.
