I haven’t drawn portraits for a year or two, so I shouldn’t have really expected anything near perfect. Even though this is listed as sketch 1, this is actually my second reference picture because I was getting fed up at my failure from my first reference picture (showing I was still incredibly rusty).
If I had a bit more patience for perfection and wasn’t so rusty, I would fix the jaw-line, and basically everything on the face under the eyes.
If you’re registered on my Gallery, you can view the full size there (and if you’re not, maybe you will register!)
The reference picture was obtained on KHN’s Flickr photostream.
