Cul de sac (drawing: Topographical face final sketch)

by Henk ter Heide on Monday June 11, 2007

It took several sketches before I realized that there was something wrong with the way I use my colors. I make parts of the face darker that should be lighter.

It seems that I have some kind of synthesis between touch and sight. While I look at something I also “feel” it. When I try to remember how something looks the shape is the most powerful memory.

I thought it would be nice to try to draw a face the way I see it in my mind. Like a sort of statue with thicker (darker) and thinner (lighter) parts. But it isn’t. It’s boring to look at. This is the second and final drawing using this concept.

But it has given me some ideas about the relation between landscape and portraits.
