Portrait drawings part 1: The Aidaning

I mentioned earlier that I got back into drawing finally, and that one of the main reasons is my obsession with Aidan Turner's face. So I uh... might have drawn him a few times (and still have a few pictures I wanna draw). >__> I'm okay with giving in to my obsession though, because his face is very good practice for a few things I struggle with. I have a hard time with eyebrows, and his are pretty hefty. And drawing curly hair is also something I needed to practice, and his hair is pretty damn curly. :')

Anyway...

Here's the first Aidan portrait I did. By that time it had been about a year ago since I drew my last portrait, so I was pretty damn rusty. :')

The next picture I drew is one that I adore, and is from a Being Human promo shoot where the cast is in a bed under some blankets, and Aidan's hair is just all over the place.

I'm very glad I can see some improvement with every portrait I manage to finish. Funnily enough, the way I draw a portrait has also changed. I used to set up a quick sketch, and then start at the top and work my way down. Now I set up, and just start layering. I'm basically working all over, and not section by section. I like this way of working a lot more, I've noticed. :)
Also, for some 'in progress' pictures, check out my Instagram. :)

I've also drawn some portraits of people who are not Aidan (:P), and I'll post those tomorrow, probably.
