This is a 30 minute study of facial
expression drawn using a 2B pencil. Expression is shown through the arching shapes
of the mouth and eyebrows. Generally the face is very relaxed as this was a
longer drawing, so there is no tension in the facial muscles, especially around
the cheeks, making the whole face look quite flat and long. Tone is used to show
depth around the eyes, ear, and hands by showing contrasting light and shadow
hitting the face, as well as give a sense of the colour value of the hair. Better
observation of tone would improve the image by creating more depth and form as,
whilst there is a reasonable likeliness to the model, currently the image seems
flat and stylised rather than a realistic observation, this could be more
effectively achieved by using a softer pencil that does not leave such harsh
lines.
