Emerging portrait: keeping on even when you want to give up

Today’s portrait lesson. Was going to trash my drawing part way through the class as I was really unhappy with it (especially the nose!) and the tutor said that the ‘history’ of learning in the picture could be used to inform it, if I corrected and re-referenced the relationships in all the tools used to create a drawing – shape, negative shape, direction and proportion, anatomy, tone etc etc. A struggle, but pleased that I hung on in there and took photos of the process 🙂
