One of my friends suggested working on a 'real face', akin Ash. I nurture an interest, amongst others called sketching that I do in my free time. Not that I set aside some time of the day to be free but I make myself free of all things to feed my interests, to run away from the daily chores, I guess. Anyways, my friends' suggestion was challenging. I haven't tried sketching a human face before. I usually do architectural designs, landscapes, and similar. So this was taking one up on, indeed. And what else could be more challenging than drawing the Miss World herself. It is much easier to draw a presentational and accurate portrait if you have the knowledge and understanding of the face and head of the person you are drawing. Well, understanding the most recognized and beautiful face was no challenge. In fact, it was the best deal of my pastime. So I set out on an intense adventure, uncertain of the outcome. I begin with an outline of her front-view face. That was easy. Now comes the tough part, eyes. Eyes are the most important and significative feature of the face. You screw up the eyes, you blew up the whole thing! I realized that eyes have to be shown with certain depth that is very characteristic of each individual you are dealing with. Nonetheless, I win again. I could see the 'depth' of her eyes! Smirk. Now, the next in line was the nose. I could get the nose quite right in the first go. But the most backbreaking of all were mouth and lips. They are the most fascinating part of the face, and very true of Ashs'. Oh! I loved this both the noun and verb part and am glad with the end product. Nevertheless, I feel triumphed and thats what all that matters. By the way, it took me about ~6hrs.
