If I would of not had help with the demo that Ms. Sudkamp this drawing would have been very difficult. She made the drawing process very simple with just a couple of lines and a couple of circles. I wasn't sure how to make the colored part of the eyeball but I messed around with a couple of options and ended up going with the one above. I decided to go with a simple zoomed in look on a face of an older woman (ass you can see by her curly hair and wrinkle under the eye and near the nose). I found making the nose realistic difficult.
I was always fascinated at the art of drawing realistic objects using simply the techniques of hatching and cross-hatching. So I found picture of a side profile of a face. I used darker hatching and not as dark hatching. I used a thick sharpie and thin more detailed sharpie. I went in with the thick sharpie and drew the outline of the face. Then went in with the thin sharpie for the hatching to represent the shading.
I am not going to lie I did not find this project very relaxing. I found it kind of stressful trying to figure out what pattern to draw and how to make it symmetrical on the section of the rhino. I believe that zen does match this. Also the hardest part of this project was the rear end of the animal with the black squares and thin white lines. I found it hard to make the white lines thin enough and straight enough.
