Happy 35th anniversary to my fave lil guy! 💙💙💙

ypur art is so beautifully expressive and dynamic I love looking at it so so much and the way you capture young vs adult thorfinn’s different energies and likeness is soooo precious to me. I wanted to ask about your drawing process with faces, do you start with guidelines or just start drawing immediately?

thank you for sharing your art !!

Thank you! I recently made a timelapse for that thorfinn portrait i posted earlier because another anon asked something similar, so here it is. yeah i use guidelines sometimes, for things like eye position and symmetry. I just pop up a line or two there while i'm already sketching the face.

There are also things like these face shadows here that help me better visualize the head in a 3d space. I like to use these a lot. 👇👇👇

Overall, here is how my first rough sketches tend to look like. Just scribbly gestual drawings to land the pose and the idea, no need for them to look presentable or good.
