One major problem I discovered doing this was - I fucking struggle to move past annoyance issues. I had big nose or more exactly nostril problems.
I’m fairly sure I was stuck in a loop of trying to draw “a” nose instead of just tuning out and draw the shapes observed. I spend way to long trying to brute force through this problem, until I finally just decided to work a bit on the rest. After I was somewhat done, I got back to the nose - I just couldn’t leave it. I printed out a cutout of the nose and tried to rediscover the shapes without the distractions of the familiarities of facial features. Finally I saw the shape that had been eluding me – the somewhat “mountain” triangle the front made – but I had utterly destroyed the paper at this point with erasing -> drawing -> erasing -> … so the corrections I could do wasn’t really satisfying, but I could finally put it away at least.
I’m sure I learned a thing or two with this drawing, nothing huge but as an old proverb goes: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step” ;)
