Pencil sketch of hipster lumberjack giving thumbs-up hand sign

Another shot at the lumberjack

By DoctorPlatypus | Doctor Platypus | 19 May 2022


This week during my art zoom, I made a second attempt at drawing the same hipster lumberjack as last week, but this week rather than spend time focusing on color, spent more time on proportions and trying to capture his posture. Here's the result from this week, in black and white:

I'm much happier with his arms, in particular, and with his shirt and face. In the reference photo, he's still leaning his head back a bit further, but his features look straighter to me in this one than in the last one. I expect to draw him at least a couple more times. We'll see how it progresses.
