So I've decided that whenever I can't draw something on my own and get frustrated at my art block, I'll scream "FUCK YOU SELF" and do a figure sketch or a portrait.
Whipped this up in two hours or so, based on this here photo. I... think it's Megan Fox?? Either way, I loved the model's eyes and have always been shaking on lighting and values so... practice!
Could definitely be better. I haven't drawn a realistic portrait since 2010. @_@

I totally do the same thing when I feel art blocked or out of it. Doing rough figure sketches and portraits is cathartic and really helps me get back into art.
