drawing practice #1

It's been a while since did some regular painting so I decided to get back to it by starting a drawing practice . I hope to be doing quick (or not that quick) sketches and using photos as reference. I thought this way I can re-learn some of the things I've forgotten since I was at school and just... get back on that horse!

Easier said than done, of course, but despite being completely unsatisfied with it, I still think it's a step forward. I've always had problems with drawing details, especially when it comes to faces or hands. That's why here I'm even sort-of proud of making Sherlock's nose and mouth actually stand out a bit, making them more three-dimensional than what I usually manage to pull off.

I hate the eyes but I try not to focus on too many failures right now - one step at a time
