I am getting things out of all proportion. This nothing new for me – well yes it is actually. Instead of crashing into a pit of melancholia brought on by the afore mentioned proportionality I am, in,fact, talking about my drawing.
Over the past few days I have been trying to capture this poor soldier’s likeness and each time I have been failing. This is not to say I am dissatisfied with the result, far from it, it is just that the face in not in proportion. I have tried all manner of techniques yet nothing seems to work. Clearly I need to work at this even harder. The part of the portrait that is throwing everything off is the nose. I don’t know why but I seem to be only capable of drawing someone with an elongated nose and face. It really is frustrating – GRGGHGRH!
