The beautiful warm sunny weather is upon us, so staying indoors in the studio is not so appealing. Thus I was off to the park with sketchbook, pencils and reference in hand. It is wonderful to be able to work outdoors in weather like this.
So after finding a bench under the trees, I went over my notebook (the paper type), and then set to work with the sketch.
For today's sketch I was working from an image of a rather loose painting. The artist had already simplified the image so in some areas, the details were completely lost. I wasn't out to replace those details, but rather work within the loose interpretation of the image.
The portrait is from the 1800s, so again we have an example of men's crazy beard styles.
Expect more sketches from the open air studio in the coming months.

Was gonna say that's quite the moustache, 1800s explains everything XD
not that there aren't people rocking the crazy facial hair these days
We have a way to go to match the crazy hair of the Victorian era.
