Hello my dear Steemians,
During last few weeks we are watching series "Picard", it is interesting to see all the actors from old Star Trek who are appearing again. It seems they all really enjoy the opportunity to meet each other and once again to immerse into this wonderful world of Science Fiction.
This series is something that many grown up with them and were starting watch them while being teenager, like @myskye. As to me I started to watch it much later and of course, since we are together, he made me from me a Trekker. That is why it is something that we love watching together.
The process step of the drawing Picard |

Last time when we were watching, I decided to draw Captain Picard, just a quick sketch with pencil and my sketching block. I still think that something is not right, but can not understand. Hope @jorgevandeperre will be able to review and give me an advice.
It looks like the head is a bit wrong shape, that is why I then corrected it.
My old Pastel drawing "Picard" |

This pastel work I did shortly before the first Season of "Picard" about 3 years ago and that was also the time when Steemit split. I really enjoyed it and love that beautiful scene of vineyard.

I am wishing you nice upcoming Easter Holiday"
Hi @stef1! Nice drawing, I see that your mastery of pencil strokes is very good. However, I will show you some things that you should do even better.
In general, you should work more on the transition from dark to lighter tones, these should be more subtle, and not so harsh. Also, take care of the values: the dark tone of the mouth cannot be the same as that of the crease of the cheek or the dimple of the chin.
I can't judge if the resemblance is correct because I don't have the reference image but I think that at your level you should be the one to judge that.
The key, as always, is in observation. You must observe before and after. First, you will observe to draw and then you must observe to see why you are not satisfied with the result.
If you narrow your eyes to observe your drawing and do the same to observe your reference image, you will see the tonal differences and discover where there are things that are not well resolved.
Another way to study and discover errors is to invert the image of your drawing and invert the reference image. You will discover many things that you had not noticed before.
If you shrink your drawing enough you will see that there are several shadows on the face that look like spots, this is because the grey transition is not well resolved.
Finally, do not be discouraged, take each portrait you make as an opportunity to learn.
The great masters of realistic portraiture spend many hours observing their work before considering it finished and it is not because they are admiring their work but because they are looking for their mistakes. This is without counting the many pencil studies that they have previously carried out because they are aware that drawing is the way to know the model and learn from drawing.

Thank you for your analysis Jorge, as always very helpful. You pointed my weakness, I always wonder if on white of the face can be white of the paper that is what I often do. On other hand I often think in that case it is the same colour as the surrounding and if it is all right? Should I try just light graphite instead of white? Another thing is transitional border between medium and dark is it OK to make it sharp?
Yes, I noticed that when the image is small then it is easy to see which areas are too dark because the whole face looks very weird and that helps me to correct some areas.
My unsuccessful drawings do not discourage me but motivate to try again until I am satisfied. I definitely continue to practicing and would be good to have your expertise on my side, as you always do :)

Hi @rajkharwa! Thank you very much for your interest in my opinion on your drawing.
Realism is very well achieved in your drawing due to the good use of tonal values. You clearly have confidence with pencils. Congratulations!
I like the expressive realism of your drawing.
However, I can't judge your drawing based on how similar it might be to the reference image, since you didn't attach it. Although the drawing is very realistic looking and well executed, I have noticed a tendency to leave the entire left side of the drawing (the right side of the character) lower. The eyebrows are well balanced in relation to the face, but the left eye in the drawing is noticeably lower, as are the left ear, the left side of the nose, and the left corner of the mouth. I suppose those dark spots on the cheek and chin represent certain scars.
If these observations are in your character of reference, you can consider your drawing as very well achieved. If not, I hope these observations are useful to you.
I have noticed the deformation of your drawing due to the incorrect way of taking the photo. You should always take care of the good framing of your drawings. Perhaps the observations I made to your drawing are a consequence of this mistake of yours.
Have a nice day!

Hi @rajkharwa, in the assessment of your previous drawing, I made you notice the inconvenience of publishing distorted images. Send a good image of your drawing without distortions and in good resolution if you want an evaluation.

Ja, dem ersten Entwurf fehlte "das kantige", das fertige Bild ist dir dann sehr gut gelungen. Auch das Pastellbild gefällt mir gut, was ich von den Picard-Staffeln leider nicht sagen kann. Die erste Staffel war für meinen Geschmack teilweise noch recht gut, bei der zweiten Staffel liefen die letzen Folgen oft nur noch im Schnelldurchlauf. Schade.
Dafür hab ich von Serien vermutlich alle gesehen :-)

Das hast du gut beobachtet, der erste Sketch Entwurf war der Versuch die richtige Proportionen vom Gesicht und Kopf zu planen ( geometrische Figur ). Danach beginnt die Arbeit an den kleineren Details.
In der neuen Serie sind viel Schauspieler aus den vergangenen 30 Jahren wieder mit dabei, nur etwas in die Jahre gekommen…..so wie wir. Wir mögen alle drei Staffeln, die Geschichten und natürlich die neuen Technologien und speziale Effekte. Heute sieht alles so realistisch aus.

Professor Xavier!!!
I thought that it was him but the title said otherwise. I had to google to find out that Professor Xavier and Picard are played by the same actor.
I think I'm the only one who has never watched Star-Trek.

Hi Hira, yes you are right Prof. Xavier was another very famous role that he played it is not possible to imagine X-men without him. It is unusual that you missed Star Trek with Picard that run from 1987-1994 :)

My wife and I are watching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" series right now. I don't know how many times I’ve watched the series, at least 10 times since it came out…3 times with my wife. We have yet to watch “Picard.” We’ll probably watch it after it's completed. We are big Star Trek fans. This is a great drawing of Jean-Luc :)

Thank you for your nice comment and also it is a pleasure to know that you both the same like us here. We do often the same, the last Star Trek that me and my hubby watched was Star Trek: Enterprise, that is my favourite, but @myskye currently also watching Star Trek: Next Generation. But "Picard" we watch together. It is like a family members are back together again :)

That's an awesome sketch.
It's almost same as the looks of captain and as per the technical aspects, you have already approached @jorgevandeperre for judgement .
Wish you luck

Dear @stef1,
There is something extraordinary in your writing. It looks like a real car. I saw how you advanced your art. It's great to create portraits with pencil art. It is very original and indicative of creativity. It's great to know that you have the opportunity to advance your art through the Steemit platform.
This practice of yours will take you further forward. Thank you very much for giving us such a beautiful art. Good luck.
Regards,
