HAHAH that was a lot of fun, obviously a sense of scale abandoned me when time started to press and a person quickly changed to a completely different individual, but still, it is a cool task to work on) I've decided to change materials from time to time to find something ) it didn’t quite work out, but brought a lot of smiles) As far as interesting goes though - curiously my 8 minute drawing is more accurate than 15 or 30, at some point, I’ve changed his chin and carried the wrong one with me till the end on the bright side - right eye stays consistent!!👀😂 Though I chose 4min one to add values and form back a bit via the use of calque) - I like the feel of brush and if I wasn’t in a hurry - pretty sure I wouldn’t butcher negative spaces as bad) Good day and smiles to anyone who reads it.. if someone does 😅

I love this kind of stuff! It was interesting to me how, as the time shortened and I began to feel stressed by the ticking of the clock, my lines actually became bolder and more confident. I wasn’t expecting that! I like the 1 min drawing the best - it has a Matisse-like quality that surprised me. I started to fill it in with shading and detail, and decided that I actually like it better in its simplicity. So I stopped.

Interesting iteration process to find the gem and simplify; tend to shorten necks, change to front view, and focus on features. At 1 min pure linear drawing appeared; final based on 1 min

I've realized that I tend to elongate shapes in general. I didn't notice it when I did the one-hour drawing, but I did when I saw all the versions together. This tendency persists across them. However, I found the four-minute sketch particularly interesting and used it as the foundation for the rendered version. Moving forward, I'll be more mindful of this habit—though I may still do it, at least with awareness. Great exercise!

Wow, what I ride. Fun, though! I focussed so much on the values, that I lost the tilt of the head... oh well. I chose the two-minute-one for the final.

Woof. That was a great exercise. I noticed that the eyes kept drifting slightly higher and to the right with each iteration. The 30-second sketch was the most interesting, so I created a more illustrative version with references.
