These are my first two homework assignments in Heads & Hands. They are drawings of two relatively unknown but up-and-coming models. To protect their identities I'll refer to them as Marcia and Pablo.I actually don't like the drawing of Marcia. Even though it's a decent likeness, the drawing quality itself is not very good because I had a lot of trouble working on that type of paper (Strathmore Drawing). Whenever I would try to blend the vine charcoal, it would all rub off. Pablo's drawing is charcoal pencil on Strathmore storm gray paper, which for me is easier to work with.

Haha. I love the title "Mablo". I think the drawings bear great resemblance to the models - a handsome couple!
Hmm.. I like Marcia better. Pablo looks older than he looks in real life. The left side of Marcia's face (as I look at the sketch) is quite dark - was that intentional?
I think the new kid is aging Pablo. :) Actually I think you are right that the lines under his eyes are too dark. Similarly, although the left side of Marcia's face is that dark in the photo, I have since learned that we are supposed to treat color variations in the face more subtley than in the photo. Good call. :)
