This is the pencil sketch that I started yesterday, as a study for a double portrait that I am going to paint. I am working from a vacation photo of a couple riding motor bikes on vacation in Greece, which is the reason for the helmets and sunglasses. I like to do pencil sketches to get to know the faces before I paint. Even though the painting is a whole new start, I like to get familiar with the faces and work through the issues in pencil. In this case, I am working through getting a likeness with facial information limited by helmets and sunglasses. I am also trying to work out how to indicate a sense of space between the two people, the two helmets. I worked for about an hour today, and I think the likeness is getting a bit better.
