Brian Cox Digital Portrait WIP 1


So I have started a picture of the one and only Dr Brian Cox, the "rock star" physicist.

Here's my sketch - about an hour - an hour and a halfs work. I have gridded the reference picture and my canvas and drawn in the detail that way. I find it less intuitive than freehand sketching, but overall favour it as it gives a more accurate sketch in terms of proportions. :-) Overlaying this on my reference image, it's almost spot on, so I'm happy with that!

The sketch is always the very scary stage where it looks nothing like the person!! Lots of fingers crossed at this stage! :-)
