Never the Twain shall meet


Never the Twain shall meet
Originally uploaded by Seattle Dave.

Two attempts to sketch Mark Twain ... proving, perhaps, only that practice makes less imperfect, although Laurel says the first one is "more visually pleasing" so maybe practice makes for worse art. Left sketch done on approx. 8/8/2008; right on 8/16/2008.

He looks sort of pissed off.

Have you received the Right Side book yet?

Oh, and I'm surprised your art teacher didn't drill it into your head that the eyes are midway between the chin and the top of the head.

Yes, but I haven't cracked it yet ... I started reading A Natural Way to Draw first, as I got them both on the same day.
