This is a portrait of one of the models we have had during the life drawing lectures. It's drawn from the lateral view and I chose this one as I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I'm very happy with the shading and the form of the portrait. There are a lot of things that could have been better, the portrait feels a bit too "smooth" to be realistic and neither the hair nor is the neck upper torso drawn at all.
I feel like I can draw portrait from the side as you don't have to take the symmetry into account. I'll have to practice more with drawing portraits from the anterior view.
