OTC 1; New Techniques
So this is the first attempt of the One Thing Challenge I mentioned in my previous post. I'm so ashamed of it, haha!
I can never get those facial proportions right. Whenever I draw faces from imagination, they always come out cartoony somewhat. I used to doodle such cartoon faces back in high school, and in college for a while, on my planner. Who knows, this could be my one thing, but, being partial to realism, I'm still iffy about it.
In other news, I recently bought brand new Daler-Rowney Langton 300gsm watercolor paper (I'm really into watercolor now!), and I'm just itching to try it out, so I got started on another sketch for a potential painting, using a model as usual.

Since Langton paper isn't really recommended for beginners (a.k.a. yours truly), and it's quite expensive, I'm trying out this sketch-transferring technique I picked up from tutorials posted on deviantART; basically you lay out a preliminary sketch of your work on a sheet of simple paper, then transfer it cleanly onto watercolor paper so as to avoid any potential damage of the watercolor paper. I thought I'd give it a go since I am quite fond of murdering paper through erasing. So far I'm finding the task fun!
A long time ago I came across an interesting quote which I think is applicable to my artistic situation now, and which I think every artist, especially myself, should adhere to,
Cheers ♥
