colored pencils on 4.25.12

I have to say that this has been a successful week. The model did a very a good job and the sketches showed for it. I mixed it up by using both hatching and the side pencil shading techniques. I also focused more on portraits and I feel a little more comfortable sketching them now. It still takes a lot of practice to get the faces just right.
