Rachel: Miniature Portraiture

Due to my diminished access to human contact, I've focused more of my energy in the last few weeks on becoming comfortable with small-scale frontal portraiture again, something I used to be really invested in in high school. There isn't a particularly prominent single drive towards doing this except that I have always shied away from the learning process here because of how time-consuming and difficult it is to become proficient in drawing faces from imagination. I've been working on mini-portraits from a mixture of reference and imagination, with the hope that combining the two will speed up the process of being able to remove my guides and draw figures generatively.
