After reflecting upon the results of the last drawing challenge, I decided to use a similar approach from a different angle, and evaluate how different the outcome is. So for this experiment, I am seeing how many faces I can confidently draw, in my style, for no longer than five minutes. I used a sheet of A3 paper, and restricted myself to only use a black biro or graphite.
The results of the five minute drawing challenge.
Although I am happy with the drawings I did create, I would not necessarily label this experiment as a full success, despite the results still being valuable. Over the five minutes, I got caught up with including specific details, primarily on the very top and bottom faces. Although I am happy with the execution of these two, the other two heads were created out of necessity to include more faces. This resulted in them lacking the detail the other two faces possess.
If I were to conduct this experiment again, I could consider abstracting my designs more, in order to create more faces. The quality of the two faces I worked on the most in this experiment however were executed, in my personal opinion, in an expressive yet concise way.
