So I decided to draw a portrait of my son Harry as a birthday card of sorts. In my A5 Leuchtturm. Portraiture is not something that comes easy although when you break it down it's just a series of facets, shading and highlighting...and colour. It's knowing where to place them all.
I don't have many photos of the big fella as he's not into having his picture taken. I know a few people who are camera-shy so I feel that's normal enough. Instead I drew from a mix of photos from years past and a single recent one he uses as a profile picture. And I added what I knew of his beard, hair and beanie.
As portraits go it's not that great...
I'm happy with the eyes although they're a tad big (if I used Photoshop I could've fixed that)...
and I enjoyed drawing the beard...
But the nose got progressively more difficult the more I tried to fix it. The shape is mostly right - we each have the little round tip to our noses - inherited from my Mum. The drawing was originally in black fineliner, Unipin 0.1, but as I overworked the nose I applied white gel pen to brighten it and finally got out the ProMarkers to add some colour - anything to distract.
I like the details enlarged, seeing each pen stroke laid over others. Perhaps that's something I might try using slightly thicker pens on a larger sheet of paper.
Harry likes it though.
The important mechanisms of injection molding are warmth switch and stress move. The important tools is an injection molding machine, sometimes identified as|often identified as} a press, and a mold which may also be referred to as a device or sometimes a die. The product of the process is a molding, which confusingly and inaccurately is Puffer Jackets sometimes known as a mold.
