Quick Sketch – James Franco

This is a picture of James Franco I sketched with a No.2 pencil. It took about 20 minutes to sketch and shade in. I started off with a basic “head” shape with two crossing lines to align the nose. eyes and mouth on his face. I shaded in his hair and used a wavy shape to make his hair look more realistic like its sticking out. I also shaded in his facial hair in a lighter shade to create more of a dynamic.  Last but not least, wrinkles. I drew in some of his many distinct wrinkles.  When drawing wrinkles you have to proportion them right or else they may look awkward on the person’s face, or you might make them look “too old”.
