Quick Sharpie sketch of Robert Pattinson<\/a> in one of his pre-James Bond<\/a> film roles, playing the mysterious benefactor Bruce Wayne<\/a> who assists the Protagonist of Christopher Nolan<\/a>‘s Tenet<\/a>. While I got the head tilt and eye line all right this time, overall I’d rate this sketch as a firm “meh” compared to the original:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing a comparison just based on scaling, the eyes, mouth and cheek look OK, though the nose line is way off and the head is too narrow. That’s a clue, so let’s try this with a relative squeeze of about 15%:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the nose line is still off, the whole thing lines up much better. This is really starting to make me suspect that I’m not tilting the page right when I draw with the sketchbook in my lap. To test that theory, I calculated ~15% corresponds to an angle of roughly ~30 degrees (at least, according to the arccos function) and measured the angle to the page with a protractor held right angles to the page and a ruler lined up between it and my eye. This measured out roughly ~20 degrees, which is close enough that it makes me think the page tilt from drawing in my lap is a serious suspect for the culprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, fixing that. Somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
