line work

Over the summer I've been trying to improve my drawing of people, I've never been able to get it right. After attempting to do some sketches I realised one of the reasons it wasn't working was because I was using too many lines, my line work wasn't confident enough.

I follow Sarah Maycock on instagram, she put up a sketch she did of a dog that i really liked because of the simplicity of it. She uses strong, confident, single lines and still manages to get the character of the dog.

So I tried sketching with confident lines, and I was pleased with my outcomes; they may have not been perfectly in proportion but I think they had a lot more character and clarity to them.
