The preliminary sketch
The preliminary sketch for the watercolor portrait:
I try to make an elementary sketch without details, the larger planes and forms caught by a soft line, and observing closely the line where eyes, nose and mouth will have to be defined. Each time I find a point I explore both horizontal and vertical according points for reference such as the corner of the eye, side of the nose or where to start an ear. Where can we find all these points in respect to each other?
Compare the found planes to each other, control them constantly and if your drawing is right it will seem as if all the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle come together.
