I've been trying to make the Wet Charcoal brush happen for me. I like how it does a heavy, ink-like stroke but trying to use it for finer lines doesn't work as well for me. Maybe that's why creating this face was such a struggle, other than the fact that it felt like more of the same.Why do I feel like I've been stuck in my own style lately? This face was yet again, another typical 'me' face, and it didn't feel like I was breaking any new ground. He's perfectly fine, just not novel enough to warrant finishing, I guess. I'm showing all the separate versions of him that I did, trying fuller lips and various noses types, but I don't know who this guy is yet. Granted, I'm trying to draw him from imagination so I'm letting the marks do the talking, but I guess that's why he's a doodle—it's just marks leading the way, hopefully into a more realized piece.
