r/Portraitart

I fixed the green trace above the shoulder

I have always loved early 16th and 17th century books on drawing which focus on the sense organs of the body (eyes, hands, mouths, noses, and ears). I decided to fill some pages of my sketchbook with dedicated studies of these features with my husband as my model. (I can now draw his eyes from memory, which is very nice.)

Portrait practice I did in anticipation of the finale! Wanted to do more expressive portraits, so I chose this shot of his heavenly revelation. Oil on canvas, 8 x 8 inches.
