Life Drawing - Faces

This is a 25 minute study of facial proportions drawn using a 4B graphite stick. The composition of the image is aesthetically pleasing with the main detail of the face and then the end of the head, around the ear, falling within the rule of thirds. Tonal values are used to show the change in light and shadow across the face and give it a greater sense of form. There are some problem areas that could be improved upon: incorrect observation of perspective and bad measuring practise has resulted in the eyes not being entirely aligned and they are drawn at different angles, the more visible of the two is also slightly out of scale, it should be slightly bigger; otherwise there is a reasonable likeliness to the model.
