Blaise Pascal, roughed on Strathmore 9×12 with a 2B pencil (upside down to get the shapes right) and inked with Sakura Pigma and Micron pens. Forehead’s a little off, slightly too big compared to the drawing; the left eye is not bent downward in the same way; actually, it seems like I squeezed that in a bit as I’ve been doing on some other drawings. In all fairness to myself, I actually increased the size of his head on purpose, as many older paintings seem to collapse the head a bit, and I didn’t bend the left eye down, as I didn’t see that distortion in any of the other paintings I could find of Pascal.
Drawing every day.
